All depends on the stance of the car and which LTs you get.

I have Hooker LT's with stock ride height and I've NEVER scrapped them on anything. I drive my car a lot too... speed bumps, potholes, driveways. Nothing scrapes them. I do however scrape the Y-pipe where it runs under the trans crossmember occasionally but nothing bad.

16x8 tires on front and back right now, stock stance on a 88 iroc, but was thinking going 17x9 on the back,with hooker long tubes
IIRC they dont make LTs for 3rd gens. Everything is 5/8. but 3/4 is needed (atleast on mine)

I also had a set of Hooker LT's on my 88 Iroc... The front was lowered 2 1/2" still never scraped... except for the front lip... (expected)

wrong...
Hedman LT's = 1 5/8" with 3" collector
Hooker LT's = 1 3/4" with 3" collector

For the coated..regular are $409.99 in jegs..and thats for super comps. Worth it in my opinion, they're one of the best headers.

i have a set of painted long tubes, drivers side needs some attention, but pass is nice, $40 for the pair, lol

Smokin SS- How much attention does it need and what brand are they?
i dont know brand,but the drivers side was heated with a torch and bent to clear the clutch slave cylinder on my monte, i ended up going back to shorty headers. and i think one of the tubes were banged in a little for clearence. no rust holes or anything. ill get a pic this weekend.
