Do your headers hang low? Can you tie them in a bow?

Mine do.. I've currently got a set of Hedman 69096's installed and they hang way down below the frame rail, I don't like that. I'm looking for input from others that have full length (not shorties, etc) that stay along the frame rails. I am also using the CPP tubular motor mounts, not sure if that make a difference. Auto trans, so no linkage and I have the ECE trans cross-member with exhuast hole cuts outs too. The motor is a small block 327. The truck is a 66 Chevy Shortbed, 4/6 static drop + 2in drop spindles.

I've done a lot of serarching here, but most of the posts are really old and many are from me way back in the day lol. It's looking like the Hedman 69236 (and its non coated variant 69230) are what a few people were using, but one guy said he haid trouble with them but wasnt too specific. Anyway, what are you all running? I'm especially interested in silver cermainc coated versions, thanks a ton!

How low are they sitting below the lowest part of the engine and transmission?

Probably a good 2.5 - 3 inches.

I'm using Hedman 69230 and running the exhaust in the frame rails. I have a small block 350 with 350 auto.
