Default Best header for dumped cars?

I have a ek hatch with a B series motor. Just finally got a chance to put my hytech header on last night, sad to say the front of it sits about a inch from the ground.
So I'm wondering what's an good header I can but on my car that will still make power and sit higher?

the header doesn't really make that big of a power difference

how far is the header from the oil pan...you could always have ramey cut and shorten the header...i dont know how it would effect performance...but i wouldnt think much especially since your not changing tube size...just shortening whats already there

I mean it's a hytec header so it's already pretty tucked in the oil pan cause it's 4-2.

I ride slammed in my ek hatch, with a shitty ebay header. It tucks up close to the oil pan, and I have tons of clearance to the ground. My LCA's will touch the ground before my header.

It's an OBX 4-2-1.

It's on an LS, so NA power is negligent in my case...so I have no need to change it.

Until boost.

Is this a real HyTech header, or a replica?
