HEADERS,FULL LENGTH OR SHORTY

Ok guys,l want to put some full length Hedman Street Hedders on my very low 88TA with a 383,th350 .blah blah...
Anyone know how low they hang from the underside of the body as l dont really want to use shortys...just dont like 'em!
I'm going to cut off the flange and use wrap around clamps to help with the clearance,also just running short pipes race type system to Dynomax bullets,but really need to know how low they hang.
Thanks(sorry if you'e seen this earlier,PC crashed can't find the post)

It's not the flange that's the problem, it's bringing the pipes underneath the frame rails.

Re: HEADERS,FULL LENGTH OR SHORTY

i hear good things about dynodon headers... no experience myself.
personally, i went with shorties because i drive mine on the streets of San Angelo, which are terrible. shorties just make things easier for me.
