cheap headers are sh*t, just save and buy some better ones or you will regret it. my friend put some cheap *** flow tech headers on his stang and had trouble until he bought some MAC headers. Just save and it will be worth it. I guess you could use flex pipe to connect some long tubes to your flowmasters.

and even equal legth could be a waste of time unless you want to work for hours trying to fit those into your engine compartment. i just went with unequal.
