Well I had custom headers made for my car. They are 2" to 2 1/8" step headers. I can get to all my spark plugs easily, there are NO sharp bends or dings, I can remove my starter in less than 5 minutes, I can remove or install them quickley with no drama, AND I have maximum ground clearance as they are tucked up nice and tight to the floor pans.
Great investment over the long haul, one of the best moves I made on my car.
