They're already unequal, aren't they?

Although mine are on a 03 WRX, they are GT Spec 2 replicas, from Tracktive via Richard and Gavin. They are made up for them to the GT Spec 2.
I had mine ceramic coated, again through Tracktive, but i do not know where they got sent for this treatment.
They were not cheap, nor was the ceramic coating, but i didnt want the risk of wrapping getting oil on it then going up in flames, nor do i want to be re-wrapping after a year or so.
They have been on the car around 6k miles now, but i still have the under tray on my car so the cracking, etc, should not be an issue really.
I also got another up pipe that came with the headers, that too was ceramic coated. 3 bolt flanges too and not the older 2 bolt type that leak.
Worth talking to Tracktive i think.

if you're buying aftermarket headers, would it be worth going for the equal length ones, more torque to be had?
