hedman header ground clearance??? help plz

Hey guys hoping for some pics of some hedman hedders 68460 LT's.
If some one could help me out, maybe take a pic of the ground clearance(where header collector is) with a soda can for an idea how much clearance ill have. car is a 91 z with 1.6" drop up front. . thanks

The collectors don't pose much problem to ground clearance, it's the rest of the system.

Re: hedman header ground clearance??? help plz

car has a t56 swap, should that make it easier to run the piping(single 3in system) compared to the 700r4?
also are the angled plugs on the afr's going to cause plug issues? thanks

Somewhat easier with a manual transmission as long as the T56 slave cylinder isn't in the way, but it's routing the pipe around the crossmember that's the biggest problem.

No idea how they fit with angled AFRs, but if I had to guess I'd say plug clearance might be a little better than with straight plugs.

Re: hedman header ground clearance??? help plz

These pictures should give you an idea.
The lowest part of the whole system is the crossmember crossing. The collectors are well above that point.
This is on a 2" lowered chassis. I've never hit the headers on anything. Unfortunately the same can't be said for the stainless y-pipe. It's taken on a few speed bumps.

You can see the collectors are up inside the frame rails where nothing is going to touch them.
