Default 1967 headers and ground clearance

What exhaust header (long tube) has the best ground clearance for a 1967? I guess Stahl used to be the best, but they have been gone for a few years now.. Ones on the car now sits to far down, unknown what brand they are as was on car when bought it. The Hooker side mount headers I guess also been gone a long time. Right now scraping my driveway pretty hard with the collectors need to get them off . Were not a problem until lowered the car a couple inches.
Thank You
Charles
1967 SS/RS.

You can always go with a "shorty" and or "mid length " header..Than a full length header..I run a full length on my 1979 Z-28 Rs Camaro with supercharged small block. But it works for my application .And I also have a 1981 El Camino SS with 290 HP 350 with a set of Flow Tech "shorty" header.That is lowered ,And I have no issues getting around .

I think you'll find that ARH are the best fit with the most clearance and highest quality build out there these days, expensive but you get what you pay for.
My tuner suggested them for all the above reasons, my car is an '01 not a 1st gen but they fit like they should and don't scrape ground on my lowered car.
All T304 stainless steel construction as well as American made.

Yes, ARH is top shelf headers. Check out the ARH headers on one of their builds:
