I installed my longtubes last night and the shorty H. The headers didnt really line up very well. I had to use a jack to line them up. It seems that the h pipe hangers are too long. Does this sound right and is this a chronic problem with LTs?? Any ideas on how to fix this?? I cant even get my car out of the gararge. My sht scrapes from the garade to the driveway
Maybe an inch and a half clearace

What brand of headers do you have? My BBK full length's hang pretty low and my H-pipe had a hard time lining up.

If the H-pipe is giving you the fits just get a grinder and cut the hangers off or take it to a shop and have them do it. It takes about a minute or two. I once had this problem with a different H-pipe and I did this and it lined up just right. I had no problems by cutting the hangers off.
