Requesting Header Pics Please!
Just installed some TSP long tube headers on my 05 Vette. After much anticipation I'm not quite sure how I feel about them. They hang a little lower than I expected. Just would like to see how low the rest of you guys have your headers hanging. Side shots with the car on the ground preferably just so I know what to compare them too. Not sure if you sell them and save a little more for LGs or Kooks. Any info/ pics are greatly appreciated!

You don't happen to have any side shots with the car on the ground? Would like to compare how low yours hang to mine. My car is also lowered on stock bolts.

Heat Shield
Could you tell me what kind of heat shield material you used on the bottom side of tunnel and maybe a link to where you got it. I'm getting ready to install ARH headers on mine
Also have you had any problems getting the foil tape to hold in the heat.
I'm a home builder and we use that tape all the time but not sure how it would hold up to extreme heat.

Yup, I have about 3/4 to 1 inch of header below the floorpan. Was rather disappointed this wasn't mentioned before installation. Oh well. Just gotta angle and creep over those speed bumps. 😁

Wiped down area W/ gasoline,then scrubbed down with DAWN dish soap. Blew dry and added time to dry totally on it's own.
Many products on the market, but I used a product called (Boom Mat). From internet says for both noise and heat. Very sticky and has stayed in place 1 1/2 years no sign of wear or looseness.
Coated pipes and mat has made a great difference to inside car heat. The foil tape is holding it's own and doing well. I did burnish the foil tape down very good. I would do the whole thing again if called on, .......no regrets

Not trying to ask too much but could you take some side shots of the car sitting in the driveway or parking lot please? I would like to see exactly how low to the ground they are so I have something to compare mine too?
