Kooks longtubes and full 3" exhaust, and lowered 1", no issues at all on the stock wheels/tires. When I bolt my Weld's on my tires are shorter too and the car is lower...and even then, I've only dragged the back of the x pipe one time very lightly on a driveway...didn't even leave a scratch mark on the pipes.

I don't think you will have an issue, especially since you only have drop springs. My electric cutouts hang lower than my LT's, and I don't even scrape those on some of the steepest inclines.

I have scrape marks on the Dynatech brackets already; first drive after getting it home from the install. I hate the stupid railroad tracks where I live!!

I have Stainless Power headers, and they don't hang low at all. Nothing like the photo above. No scrapes. Car is stock height.

After you lower the car your SENSE of I eint going thru there will get heightened! Lol I'm lowered with Kooks 3.5" collectors on my 4th gen and have about 2" of ground clearance lol.
My L99 has kooks and I've never had an issue but I'm not lowered.

Mine with the NoWeeds diverters. The diverters hang lower than the Borla plain S-Pipes.
Borla headers and cat-back with no cats. |

Just come across this thread now, have pfadt long tubes and lowered the car not actually sure by how much. Within a couple drives i had already scraped a bracket almost pulling it off. Honestly thought i had done something wrong on the installation for them to be hanging down lower than the frame, now im glad its not just me! will be raising the car up again slightly to near stock height and hopefully will have no more problems.

Yeah I'm not sure why it's necessary to have them hang so low. It's not a good problem to have and I can't believe it's so commonplace and acceptable. If I'd known before I purchased headers I'd have checked this. No idea if they all do it but I can't imagine they do.
