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.

IIRC they dont make LTs for 3rd gens. Everything is 5/8. but 3/4 is needed (atleast on mine)

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 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.
