Default Long Tube Headers on 1992

[COLOR="Yellow"]I have a 1992 and was considering installing long tube headers and an entire new exhaust system minus the cats. Will i have enough ground clearance with the long tubes by Hooker? Thanks

He is saying long tubes will be fine, you have more to worry about than the headers hitting.

Sorry about that, not much sleep this weekend. Will there be enough clearance in the engine compartment for the hooker headers? Thx

On my 1988 with Hedman long tube headers I got underneath the car with a tape measure and I have 4.5" from the collector to the pavement. Not much room if I run over an old mattress in the freeway !
