Ground clearance with long tubes?

I live on a gravel road, and i was wondering how much ground clearance issues i would have if i were to run the hooker long tuber headers on my 1991 350 camaro?

Any help is appreciated.

thanks

On my car the headers aren't that bad, its the y pipe under the crossmember that is the low point.

I have between 3" & 3.5" of clearance with my long tube Hookers with Hotchkis 1" drop springs on my car. That is at the point where the primary header tubes merge into the collectors (lowest point in my exhaust). Collectors back I have more clearance as I bent mine up and built a custom crossmember for the tranny that allowed more room for the pipes to pass underneath.
