UPR is NOT one you want. I had one on my 04 GT and where it bolts to the CB it hung low.
I would bet that Magnaflow, Bassani and any other big name brand would fit really well.
Other than that, maybe have a shop custom make one to your car. That way you can get maximum clearance for YOUR car.
Prob spend the same money since the Magnaflows etc are upwards of $500+. Buy some cats and have the hop bend/install the pipes for you. BUT with magnaflow you are getting stainlesssteel and mandrel bends

FWIW, my Bassani Catted X is a little higher off the ground than a coke can. I also have LM1s out back, and am using the stock manifolds. I still scrape over speed bumps, tables, etc...if I don't take them diagonally. However, I really don't care about scraped up cats all that much. I will worry when I scrape a hole through 'em

I'll just have to buy a Bassani or magnaflow, see how it fits, then have a shop make adjustments if needed.

The point of buying magnaflow and any name brand midpipe is so you don't have to have a shop adjust it.
I buy UPR and adjust it myself so I save money...but if you have the cash to drop, go with mganaflow.

There aren't any that are a considerable amount higher than the others, our underbody's just suck for clearance. I have an slp catted x, brought it to an exhaust shop and had them cut and reweld the midpipe to get an extra half inch clearance. As it sits now it's 1.25" off the ground, when I had it rewelded it was a bit lower than that.
