Cheapo headers that hang low. Need advice!

Headman tight tube shortys fit great and no ground clearance issues. They install real easy to.

That is a very nice alternative to the TTI/Doug Headers!

A little smaller tube. Would you pick up some performance if you used a 2 1/2" adapter at the flange to a 3" Pipe then to X Pipe?? Would it be about the same as the TTI/Dougs that goes further under the car? Just wondering.
