Do those tubes' collectors hang below your oil pan? Based on my measurements they would be at least 1" below my f-body pan, which I'm trying to avoid.

They are lower than my oil pan, however it won't be a problem for me. If you look at the attached pic you can see how much they hang down in relation to the frame rails

Thanks, saved me some hassle there... looks like LTs are out of the question for me because I'm trying to get my engine to sit as low as possible.
