Default Lowered Stang with Long Tube Headers

I was looking into getting long tubes for my car but my car is lowered with ford motorsport springs. Am i going to have any clearance issues with this setup? Thanks for the help

i would say you might, i scrap every now and then with my ARH LTs, but its the midpipe that scrapes not the headers themselves

Yeah I have the Magnaflow side exhaust on my new GT and my driving habits have completely changed in a matter of 1 day....SCRAPE is not something I wanna hear. I am pretty low but I agree with Matt, It would more than likely be your midpipe scraping rather than the actual headers.

I have the Roush springs and Kooks LT with no issues. That is one thing good about the Kooks as they do not hang low at all and hence will have no rubbing issues.

The JBA longtubes collectors' tuck up higher than the frame rails. There's no way they would ever contact anything before the frame rails.
