Equal or Unequal length shorties??
 

I want to buy new headers when I do my exhaust this week. I don't know too much about them though. I did a search on here to read a few old posts on them and didn't feel too much better about making a decision.

I've heard that the equal are better for more modified engines but exactly how modified? I would think that you would want to go with the long tubes for a highly modified engine.

I was thinking about going with the unequals for now and when I get modified enough, switching to the long tubes.

I've also heard that I should go with the 1 1/2", not the 1 5/8". All I can seem to find on a few websites with good prices, (brothersperformance.com is really good) are the 1 5/8". Is that going to be a problem?

Actually, I think the 1 5/8 are better. And go with the equal lengths. Your engine doesn't have to be heavily modified. All I have done to my motor is pulleys, K&N, and equal legth's, and my car is fine. The equal length can be a real pain to install though.

Yea i hear they are a pita to install, and make plug changes more difficult, and could kill some lowend, but they give an awesome sound, a little better sounding then unequal's, anything is better than stocks' although i have stock headers i do just fine with them for now.
