from what i ahve read it will take all the subaru flat four sound away ... the headers are what make them sound .... well like a subaru

Yep, equal length = NO rumble.....!!

Should make for a slightly smoother engine though, and in theory slightly more power if mapped accordingly, but if it were me, i'd have ported cast headers to retain the rumble!! oh, thats what i have got, silly me!!

There are no disadvantages with regards to equal length headers. They make more power aand are far more efficient in terms of flow. Who cares about the flat four rumble? The fact that the sound is there indicates a restriction, plus the exhaust pulses 'collide' with each other reducing efficiency.

the burble is what makes the scooby stand out from the croud

They are more likely to be less un-equal length headers, so half and half, loose a bit of burble gain loads of mid-range performance....

P.S. True equal length headers are REALLY expensive....

Aye. Nothing better than getting out the car and feeling like your head has been pounded by Tyson.....and even though the engine is off, you can still hear the rumble.
