I had longtubes on my 94 with H/C/I and I loved them except or clearance issues. I especially loved the sound of them with the x-pipe and flowmasters. I used to work on a college campus that had a bunch of BIG speedbumps. So needless to say that the 2 bottom tubes on ach side were pretty much flattened aftera couple months. I read somewhere that Accufab makes longtubes that allow more ground clearance. I have no idea ho sells Accufab headers though.
