Long Tube Header Fitment/ Ground Clearance

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OBX-Racing-S...fc86d9&vxp=mtr

Saw these headers, and was wondering if these will give me adequate ground clearance it says it wont fit a T5 tranny but I have a 700R4 so that's not an issue, from the pics they seem to be shaped nicely to clear the tranny however ground clearance concerns me as I don't want to be scraping everywhere? What do you all think?? If not ill just stick to some shorties and call it a day

Re: Long Tube Header Fitment/ Ground Clearance

There is another sub forum on here about those. Ill try and find it and pm it to you later today sometime, but some love them, and some hated them... Most poeple had to modify some things...

I actaully have it favorited.. I was thinkin about using them, but i havent decided just yet, For sure though thy Y-pipe is s*** terrible, they ended up making there own or getting a diiferent one. Look through that fourm and make your own decision...

Re: Long Tube Header Fitment/ Ground Clearance

Wow it seems these LTs can be quite a gamble! Thanks for sharing that link, from what i saw from the pics on there the ground clearance on these OBX headers will work just fine. I always embraced goin the lesser traveled path which is why considered LTs since eveyone just runs to shorties, gotta knack for proving people wrong
