Default Headers question

So today I finish installing my suspension on car and notice the exhuast and header where really low. because the Hytech Replicas header points down making the exhuast sit very low. so my question what header sit closed to the oil pan like the oem and straight?

Danger to manifold says Mechanic Kittay...

Um, no way I'd rock a header that fits like that. OEM JDM ITR, SMSP, Hytech (real) and many others do NOT point down like that.

As it sits, I would not go over any speed bumps at all.

My real Toda sits up higher than the lowest point of the oil pan, ground clearance FTW!

rmf narrows rep or the real thing, bisi v2 rep or the real thing. depends on how much you got to spend, but you are gonna have to spend $350+ to get nice looks, good power, and good clearance.

That thing gotta be SlllaaammmmEd!!! Honestly I seen knock off header b4 and none of them sat that low. There's a couple of guys on here that make really nice clearance knock off header. If thats what your budget its. As for yours. Do you know who makes it? You can always get BALLER header but that'll cost you a arm and leg! GL

And great ground clearance also. If your R is SC'd the Kami should be what your hunting for. Trust me on this one.
