They're unequal length pipes but that doesn't really matter 'cause you'd be hard pressed to find any headers for modern vehicles that are truly equal length. Even the JBA replica shorty headers I recently bought (not yet installed) for my GT are unequal length.

What is the advantage? In addition to light weight

A deeper rumble from the exhaust and more HP/TQ across the rpm range, with the biggest TQ gains in the lower half. There's also the looks.
Mine weigh in at 15.2lb for the pair. I haven't weighed the stock manifolds (they're still on the car and the image shown are of another person's manifolds) but I believe they're 20lb for the pair.

Have you installed these yet? How was the fitment/install issues did you use the gaskets provided or did you go OEM gaskets?

No I haven't installed them yet. I have new gaskets (not using the composite gaskets that came with the headers) but I still need to order new studs, and find a weekday when I have nothing else to do so I can get access to a lift in a local garage.

Bummer was hoping to see if they're worth the time. Got a set of 900$ Mac headers and they cracked not even a year into them.
