Yes you can use full length headers NO PROBLEM!

But you need to install a simple bracket to extend the power steering ram out of the way.
It takes about 10 minutes to do, you just need the part which is easy to get.

They WONT drag on the ground unless you have your car lowered like 4" in the front and 2" in the rear. If you are using the stock [:'(] suspensions then you will have no problem at all. If you ever decide to upgrade the suspension (tighter, lower) you could run into dragging problems with the collector flange and pipe.

my suspension is stock and i have long tubes...

i have scraped once going over a speed bump diagonally

i had to get one of the tubes notched because the power steering ram was rubbing the driver side header...some brands of headers will have more problems than others
