Lowered with LT Headers

anyone on here lowered your stang and long tube headers have clearance problems? looking at suspension and LT headers next, note I am running high flow cats due to it being a DD and not wanting the fumes of the just the off road pipes.

My 2011 is lowered with LTs, and no issues. Even on speed bumps, but I do always take them slowly.

I am asking for several reasons. LT gave me clearance issues on lowered car I had before (non mustang). Also the LT on my LS1 gave me great upper RPM HP but loss of TQ in the lower band and without cats I was sniffing gas fumes. So I am researching go LT with high flow cats risk lower RPM torque loss or is this a problem with the Coyote engine? If it is I could go mid length with high flow cats and sacrifice a few HP? Suspension mods are a must on this car.

You have any videos of your stainless works headers? What do you have for cat back?

I have the Ford acing springs with adjustable shocks, which actually sits a little higher than my old Eibach sportline with stock shock setup, and run ARH longtubes with their catted x-pipe. I hit my cats on about 75% of all speedbumps, but so far nothing else. I have to slow way down, and go crookedly to not hit, and even then I sometimes will scrape a bit. I'd have more clearance without cats, but I can't do that here...
