I am going with bbk ceramic coated equal length shorties myself. They are highly recommended, good product and good price.

BBK shorty's are fine. Don't waste your money on the equal length tubes, they are too rough on plug wires. The regular unequals are fine and are way better than the stock headers.

thats a load of BS. Ive been running equal shorties on my car for over a year and I never once burnt a wire, nor was it difficult to change my plugs.

dont spread false info

You can do equals or unequals, whichever ones you want. I think equal length ones are supposed to be able to pull more power. I personally have BBK ceramic coated unequal shorties on mine. Ceramic is nice, they still look as good as the day I bought em,been running them for about a year now.
