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

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...

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
