Headers

Does anyone run long tube headers with a drop? If so what is your drop and what headers are you using.?

Thank you

What is the model # of your headers? I was looking to maybe get the Doug Thorley model THY-372Y-C, if the clearance is better than my Headmans long tubes. I have 28" tires and will soon have a 5" drop, that is why I ask.
