    should i dump the equal length shorty's

    well a good respecatble and fast member here reccomended that i got rid of the equal length shorty's instead of buying some plug wire boot protectors. since as you can see in the pic...i have little to no room on the #3 cylinder wire.

    is there much difference in performance in the equal to unequal length shorty's. i dont have much mods and i know that matters.

    im thinking the boot protectors be easier and cheaper to do...but what does SCS think.

    I don't see any reason to get rid of them. I don't think they're worth the extra money for the initial purchase, but if you already got them there's no reason to change unless you went with long tubes

    doesnt make much sense to me, but to each his own.... you wont see any power gain and unless you go ceramic coated, they will look like crap in a few months anyway......

    If you are going to get different headers you would be better off getting longtubes like ray said, that would be the only reason i would get different headers
