how far do full lengths hang down? i'm used to my truck and not being able to run full lengths since its lowered so much. i plan on lowering the stang gt i get about 1.5" will i have problems with the headers hitting the ground over bumps?

you may.. i lowered my car with steeda sport springs, probably about a 1" to 1.5" drop, i haven't had any problems yet going over speed bumps or stuff like that, but i bottomed out once going very fast and hitting a bump.. that was my fault though

I don't have pics but I'm lowered 2-2.5" and do have the odd problem here and there but I'd say it's an agreeable tradeoff for the looks and performance.

I have no problems at all, but I am not lowered either. The one thing is, my headers don't really "hang low" at all. I am getting the FRPP C springs, so I know it won't be an issue.

is there anything else that would hit before the headers?
also, what would a decent set of headers be brand wise? i'm running dynomax ceramic shorties on my truck and ireally like them.

also, how much power can i expect to gain from adding full headers, o/r H or X pipe, and a magnaflow cat back?
