The only advantage to any sort of shorty headers is that they are easier to put on.
For any real gains in power/torque, use long tubes.........

I would just go with set of shorty headers bbk or mac regular the equal length headers are harder to put in and for changing out the spark plugs and only gain is a couple more hp?

Is it horsepower or sound at issue with equal length?

Regardless, unless you are running a pretty pumped engine, I don't think you'll notice a difference so not worth the hassles outlined above.
