I've seen the TSPs and the OBS/Kooks, and they hung slightly lower than stock where the 4 tubes enter the collector. I asked for pics of other brands a few weeks ago, and never got any pics from anyone with SP headers. I did get a pic of the Pfadt headers, and they looked liked they were as good as stock. The Thorley's that I saw in person looked as good as stock as well. My car is very low, I occasionally scrape on the factory clamps. I switched from a 3" catback to a 2.5" NPP exhaust just for ground clearance issues. That's how low my car is, and why it is critical.

Which size do you have? And what power are you running, I have a similar setup. What front pulley?

Awesome, thanks. I'm at 550 with the cogs and stock manifolds, no cam yet... How much boost are you running? Trying to figure how much boost drop I will see.

DT's here since 2009! Still look "almost" brand new! No discoloration , no rust! Also made around 35-40 rwhp with a tune! They do the job!
