DonF said the Narrow header has decent ground clearance....considerably better than the Rage Big Tube Tri-Y he tested them with.

Pics of the Narrow

I run the Hytech. It's clearance is absolute crap man, take it from me. You're going to have to run at least 430lb/in springs up front if you want a 1 finger gap under your fenders, and you'll still have to take it easy on some speedbumps. It's a sweet header, but it's really incovenient...looks the same for the narrow replica as well. At least the part where the Hytech replica would/does smash the ground is flat and not on a curve like the narrow header.

I visit Hungaroring 2-3 times a year, otherwise I daily drive the car.
Omni LCA bushings sux, does not matter it is front or rear (both failed around ~15.000miles on our not really good quality roads).

Gotta play to play. Real SMSP or DTR/SSR. Nothing fits better then a custom header.

Look at the second picture. The primary tubes are bent slightly upward then the secondaries are aiming towards the ground. This moves the end of the header closer to the ground.
