Default How low are pace setters?

I am looking at a set of pace setters and curious how low they go. DO they stick out below the frame? I lay frame so I kinda need them tucked by a little bit atleast.

I have em too on a SSS, pretty sure they tuck up good. Even if they hang a bit, unless you lay frame aver a speed bump, you wont have clearance issues.

They sit just above the frame rails, however they will only last about 2 or so years before rusting out if you live anywhere that gets weather..

Yeah, I think I am dealing with that now. I had flanges welded on to make it easier to install / remove. Might get a new set of collectors, its the middle weld on the 4 into 1 that keeps taking a crap on me. It happened to the set that was on my LT1 as well. Its crappy, but thats what you get for the price I guess. Finally found a flaw with these headers.

something like these...

The truck sits in a garage and is only driven at the track and occation when I want to take it out. So rusting out isn't going to be a problem.

Glad to hear they tuck!
