Default Ground Clearace - Headers

I'm planning on picking up some SLP LTs, but I'm concerned about ground clearance. My car is lowered around 2"...will LTs present a major ground clearance issue on a lowered car?

Here is a pic of my GT with headers that was lowered 1.75 in the front and 1.6 in the rear.

Thanks, ZW! I've still got some work to do on her, looking at replacing the R-Wing and filling in the Cobra on the bumper.

Jdaniel, thanks, doesn't look too bad, definitely doable.

normally the headers dont have any clearance problems on a lowered stang. ive got problems with cat clearance. my heat sheilds on my cats are beat up badly, i scrap on alot of stuff with them. speed bumps kill... also hills do with a flat part like driveways. but yea, i do have clearance problems... but if you went with a offroad X pipe or something, i dont think you would have any problems.

Hmmm....I've got SLP LM Is, and I'm looking at getting a catted SLP X w/SLP LTs. It's going to be my "reward" for completing my second tour in Iraq, lol. I thought about getting the o/r X, but I figure I can get the race pipes with the catted X and just switch out when I really feel like it, if it is even worth it.

I've bottomed out the car twice since I got it a year ago, once pretty hard, but I never noticed any real damage. I'm usually pretty careful. When I get back from Iraq I'm going to get a full inspection done before I get the headers/X-pipe installed...I just hear it's damn pricy to get those things installed.
