[PIC] Which header hangs lower? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

TIMSPEED · 04-17-2003, 01:26 PM

The top is my header and the bottom is Eric (OCBaud)'s header. We have the same size tire, but he has a 4" drop, and I have a 3" (my 3" hasn't settled yet either)

LOHRTBT · 04-17-2003, 01:34 PM

Erics appears to be lower but its hard to tell...get out the measuring tape. lol

Low87 · 04-17-2003, 02:09 PM

Looks like Eric's violates the scrub line, and yours is close.

LOHRTBT · 04-17-2003, 02:20 PM

VIOLATORS!!!!

Hell when I had full lengths ..I didnt just violate the scrub line....I OWN3D it!! hahaa

Low87 · 04-17-2003, 02:23 PM

Keep them that way Eric, I want to see the pics of a collector shoved up through the floorboard if you ever have a blowout.

TIMSPEED · 04-17-2003, 02:24 PM

What exactly is the "scrub line"? If it's "Anything lower than the bottom of the rim, is illegal", then my vette breaks that rule all to hell.

LOHRTBT · 04-17-2003, 02:38 PM

That is it....Look at what it would rip off or shove up your @ss on through the seat when you have a blow out......Scrub line!! lol

TIMSPEED · 04-17-2003, 02:42 PM

Now I know why I reinforced that floorpan..

**Captkaos** · 04-17-2003, 04:17 PM

Come on guys. Eric isn't anywhere near the scrub line...
It is actually what hangs lower at the point when you tire is flat (at each tire), ie leaves you without the ability to steer (Ie out of control). Stuff can hang lower than the rim, but it would be in the middle of the car. (not sure what you got that low on your Vette Tim, nothing is on mine, we are talking stock right.

My vette is dropped 1" in front and 1½" in back, with Long Tube Headers..the bottom of the collector flange is about 2" off the ground.

Can we say...speedbumps = NO NO.
LoL, my FLOORPANS are about 5" from the ground!

TIMSPEED · 04-17-2003, 07:42 PM

ok, I measured it..from the very bottom top of my collector flange to the ground (on the truck) it's 6"

LOHRTBT · 04-17-2003, 07:52 PM

My old headers were just barely over 2 " off the ground

ocbaud · 04-17-2003, 11:00 PM

my headers are 3" from the ground

good thing my truck ain't lowered. I think my muffler hangs down lower than their headers do. It would be cool to see the sparks at night though.

i should mention that my camera was sitting on the ground when i took that picture
