Default DNA Motorsports header

I installed a two piece header from DNA motorsports on my 89 EF hatch with a B18C1 motor. The issue is that it hangs too low and can't even get it down my driveway because it scraps really bad, my car is not that low. Anyone know what header works for better clearance

The stock header? Most of the aftermarket ones will probably scrape.

I've heard good things about DC headers, but I'm not sure if it will work. It's really hard to suggest something without seeing your pan/header clearance and the header/ground clearance.

If the OP is actually hitting the end of the drive way, I don't think a skid plate will last him very long. Not saying it isn't useful. But it will wear out very quickly. I think he needs an exhaust that wraps closer to the oil pan. Like the stock one but with a bigger diameter and possibly a better design.

Look! My DC sport header was a good suggestion. 4-2-1>4-1 in terms of ground clearance.

did a little bit of research and I do agree that DC will give me best clearance.
