Default 4-1 headers/4-2-1 headers.. GROUND CLEARANCE!!!!

okay well i just swapped a gsr into my eg hatch and i didnt have headers so i went and got some brand new megan racing 4-1 headers for 120 bucks..i thought might as well pay the extra bucks for some nice looken headers.

now the headers are crazy low to the ground
my car is just barely tucking up front and its hard enough to drive it how it is but i can handle it...but now the headers sit an inch 1/2 -2 inches lower than the car now.


so i was wondering..as much as i love my headers..
if i get 4-2-1 headers would they be higher from the ground
because since the 4 tubes end up goign 2 on top and 2 on the bottom forming a square...the 4-2-1 would have only 2 pipes under the car instead of a square of 4 which would give me more clearance..

i can take pictures if needed
jw cuz im gonna see if anyone will trade me headers.


oo
oo


^ the pipes are set up like that under the car

4-2-1 would only be like this right??

Yes, they should be a little higher off the ground.
I have a 4-2-1 Megan Racing Header on my D16Z6 and it gets plenty of ground clearance, even with being lowered over 2" while driving. It has never scraped.
