if the car is lowered,anything other then Try-Y's might rub due to a 3" collector and the way they sit below the frame rail,mine RARELY hit and its pretty low,my buddy has Hookers and not as low and went though 2 sets already

Yea I had the same problem with my Headman headers on a lowered '67 (I also hit the ps drop ram bracket). I switch to tri-y's on my lowered '66 with no problems on speed bumps. I believe Doug Thorley made a full length header for a SBF with 2.5" collectors. Should also tuck fairly well. Both cars were lowered about 3 inches in front.

If your header has a 3 bolt flange on the collector, eliminate them and you will gain some clearance.
hmm. yeah i would like the full legnth. they only hit on like speed bumps if i dont go over them at -45mph ill have to look into replacing them it its to big of a problem.
