Unequal Vs Equal headers
 

So to revive an old debate...... what are people views regarding equal vs unequal length headers. Currently running 4-1 toyo sport equal length (on cr as bought) with no mapping and just 3" miltek sports cat back.
Have a set of standard turbo 2000 headers which from what I know are unequal and sounded great with the miltek on the turbo 2000. Am planning to purchase when funds permit esl ecu and mapping. While I prefer the burble of the unequal what are people's opinions.
Ps.
Have fmic also ready to go on when I can fund esl.

I'd ditch the equal length manifold, the standard unequal length manifold is good for nearly 400 bhp.

I have a Japspeed stainless steel manifold on mine, but its not worth doing.

I did like the sound of the unequal even with the sports cat and if it's good to 400 I wouldn't be looking for much above 320 is anyway so ideal.

The unequals may be good for 400.

GOOD equals will always out spool, produce more power and more torque through out the Rev range than un equals.

However a good set of equals is very hard to find.

I've heard this a lot, just can't justify spending big money really. At least the standard unequals I have will do better than these nasty toyo sport equal. ....and sound better

Sound better is very subjective! I prefer the sound of my equals, nothing like you have heard before. It sounds amazing when you Bury that right foot....

Get your unequal portEd and a Harvey trick up pipe on there from asp.

I'll be honest I guess I'm comparing standard unequal to sh*te equals so would be good to hear a good set. Ibe been looking at up pipes and have read elsewhere the Harvey are good.

twin scroll equal length

Don't like the sound of that. Booo equal length manifold.

It's a fact equal length twin scroll are superior performance wise !!

Buy's a Scooby, makes it sound like a Honda.

Buys a scooby, makes it redonkously fast, loses sound of council estate touring car..

Must admit, I do still miss the sound of UEL :(

Don't care sounds rubbish.

Who took the jam out of your doughnut?

If you ask anybody to describe an impreza, the first thing they will say is Rumble. Take that away and what do you get...

The rumble is what sets a scooby apart from all the other jap cars.

Twin scroll el is for the more mature grown up scoob owner

No if you ask most people they hear a subaru and think "another wanker in a subaru"....

Then you see him and he's wearing a Subaru jacket and a 555 hat

scooby doo on the parcel shelf :Suspiciou

Or a scooby DOO ones ie l:lol1:

If it wasn't for that boxer rumble i would have bought an evo by now :thumb:

Watching the video of the Higgins TT car reminds me why I prefer the sound of the unequal manifold on full chat - fantastic!
