So my Hooker long tubes hang down low, and a lot of people complain about how they fit and how much they hang down. I've had mine for years but between lowering the engine and lowering the car it's getting a bit irritating. Anyone here run the Hedmans, what's the ground clearance like at the collector on their long tubes? Preferably someone who's run both. I know the Doug's headers fit really nice, but Hedman has a new step tube header that I might try at some point, I just don't want to get another header and have the same problem.

 

I had patriot headers on the Cleveland and they hung MUCH lower than my current Hookers. I honestly do not have a problem with the Hooker Super Comp long tubes for the 351W.

 

The 351 has the taller deck height, so it probably helps to pull the headers farther up.
