Default Long Tube Headers too low?

I have a 96 GT lowered about 2 inches. I would like to put on LT headers but I'm afraid they may sit too low to the ground and drag a lot. I live in the country a have a gravel driveway. Factory cats already seem too low as they will drag on the smallest thing.

Any Thoughts?

I had a 94 that ws lowered 2 1/4 " with long tubes. They would drag when ever I went over a speed bump , I think I had a good 3" clearance from the ground with them . They will be ok as long as you keep them in mind when you go over a bump , just take it easy over speed bumps.

Be prepared because they will scrape once in a while , sometimes it cant be helped.

I slowly tired of mine dragging on things, and after a while raised my 89 back up to the middle ground so they didn't drag, at least not very often.

I haven't had any issues dragging mine, my headers don't sit any farther down than my trans pan
