They are supposed to help it so the individual exhaust pulses don't interfear with each other and help increase flow. Each tube is the same length so the pulses will never hit till the H pipe/collectors.

I have equals...I just like how they look, and every little bit helps. But, they are a little tighter fit...either will be an upgrade.

I was telling the other guy who asked what the difference was...

I don't think that price is all that bad, but they are used, so I wouldn't pay any more than that. I don't think they are that bad to put in, just takes a little time...it is hard to get to some of the bolts and the drivers side has to go in from the bottom, so you may have to remove the steering shaft(I had to)and H pipe(I had mine off already) Either would be fine though. Just the equals look cooler
