Unequal if you want to keep the subie sound.
Equal if you want to get rid of the boxer rumble.

And depending on where you want to go ultimately on your power gains,...Equal length will get you the most power in comparison with supporting mods...Perrin seems to be popular....But again, you will miss the distinctive boxer rumble....

Cool
I would say that you can't go wrong with Tomei.

After reading an article in DSport a while back, Tomei put some dollars into R&D

Go for the
equal length!

I Think you ment to say Equal length.... Unequal is more for sound and not so much on the gain side...

Later on this week I'm getting my Maddad EL headers off and putting on Titek UEL kuz I really miss the boxer rumble.

Lemme know if you're interested. Only about 2,XXX miles on the header.

You are correct sir,..my mistake on my post,...Equal length will give you more power per supporting mods, but you'd lose the boxer rumble...
