Default Clearance with drop and 4-1 header?

I have a EM1 on eibach springs. It sits pretty low, probably about a 2in drop. Looking under my car it seems a 4-1 will be pretty low. Anyone have any experience or pictures with a similar setup?

I don't have the setup on my car. I have the stock manifold. Thats why I want a picture so see the ground clearance. Does anyone make a decently priced 4-2-1 header?

A lot of companies make some decent priced 4-2-1 headers. What size collector are you looking for?

i got a megan GSR header on my car and the clearance is a big issue and i already need a new header. Have to go slow over speed bumps and watch out for dips and sharp dropoffs cause that **** hits HARD. Ouch!

I guess a 2.5" collector. I have a high flow cat unknown brand, and a Greddy SP2 which is 2.25 I think.

4-1 is very poor for ground clearance...mangled mine almost instantly....if you are going to get a 4-1 get an ITR header. the runners are staggered so it had more ground clearance.
