Default headers?

I don't want to get LT's cuz i will have almost no ground clearance with my 2 inch drop, and i don't wanna get shorties cuz there is no gains.....Is there an inbetween like mid-length headers?? I think I heard of some from JBA i think but not sure...? and would the gains be in the middle of the LT's and shorties?

The LT's are not the lowest part of the car so don't sweat it. I have a set and I don't hit them on ****. I did hit my cut outs when I had them, but they were an additional inch or 2 lower than the rest of the headers and that was pre drop. My car doesn't drop that much anyways due to the stiffer springs. The only reason to not get LT's is they are more expensive and a bitch to put in your self.

i have a set of bbk LT's and with my sport line springs they def scrape on speed bumps but from what ive heard and experienced they are well worth buying instead of shortie headers. just stay away from the speed bumps

Just get the LTs. I have them and trust me my car is way lower than your 2" drop. I have no problems.
