Could someone briefly explain the above? What difference do they make...performance / sound etc? Costs in buying, fitting???? Ta

 

I hear that's what give the characteristic burble?

 

Unequal will keep burble. I fitted equal before, and only sounded like a Scooby on idle. Was told you may get diffent power curve, but personally go for un equal and keep the proper noise

 

Equal length headers allow better flow and give better torque gains but you lose the burble and instead have a awesome noise that sounds like a motor bike when at full chat

 

That's right mate it does I wouldn't bother been there done that !!!! if your going to do it don't get cheap ones it wont pay off

 

Ummm, well I assume I have equal ones but I have the burble Def doesn`t sound like a 2 wheeled pest Or did you mean unequal?

 

Except for new-age JDM STIs, all scoobs come as standard with unequal headers, so your question doesn't really make a lot of sense.

It's equal headers that people most often fit as an after-market part, if they change their headers at all.

 

Ooooohhhh, sounds like I got it wrong way round

 

port your standard headers and get a decent up pipe you will get better gains and quicker spool up unless your going for 400+ bhp dont put s/s headers on

 

+1, or get an exchange set of wrapped and ported from Harvey.

 

equal length headers will give you a power increase (after mapping), but you'll loose the scooby burble - it'll sound more like an evo esp if you have a twin scroll (as per the new age jdms).

as said, port your oem unequal headers and get a trick up-pipe off Harvey for better spoll up

 

i think the equal/unequal often gets mentioned with the sports..i myself fitted some borla unequal headers to my sport to give me that much needed burble...sounds like it should do now..
