they're both good, the equals give you a BIT more top-end. the unequals gets the power a BIT lower in the powerband but usually a couple hp less, but they look better and are easier to install and work around. both are good.

it's not that unequal's are harder to install, there just more "fun" to install . either way you'll be happy with what you get.

That's backwards the un-equal's are a little better up top and equal's are a little better down low.

ive had both on different cars and have unequals now and like them better. less heat in bay and more room to work. equals are not worth the 2hp thay add on a mild car.
