Default Header question

Ok...last question before I get to bed...I have to be up early in like 5 hours..LOL. I narrowed it down to either BBK 1 5/8" unequal ceramic shorties or 1 5/8" equal length ceramic shorties. I would of gone with the unequal but there is only a 50 buck difference. So what does everybody think pros cons.....I know the equal length are harder to put in etc.. just want to know if it's worth it.

Thanks again.

Not worth it. Stay w/ unequal lengths...you'll wish you had the extra room under the hood later.

I don't think equals get in the way of that much, other than spark plugs.
Spark Plugs are tough even with my unequals though.

I wish I had gone equal longtubes.

I may be making the change fairly soon.

i'd go with the equals
better flow and even backpressure throughout the cylinders
