[QUOTE="MustangChris, post: 703808, member: 10830"] because to obtain "equal length" they require using longer peices of tubing. that tubing has to go somewhere, and its usually pushed "out" (horizontally) thus, making them wider. THis may cause problems installing, and maybe even functuality. drivers side: throttle cable, clutch cable, master cylinder, brake lines, valve cover, steering shaft. passenger side: valve cover, intake plumbing, starter, upper intake. generalized items: a/c, smog equipment, spark plug wires. all these things *may* need to be removed to fit in "equal" length headers, as they are "bulkier" - they require more clearance to fit under the hood for proper install. as i said, i only *helped* with one set of headers on a sn95 5.0. they were un-equal, generic type headers. so i am no expert. if you are a visual learner (like me) : unequal length: see how "slim" they are... slide right in next to the motor. <img src="[url]http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/mustangtuning_2099_999110225">[/url] equal length: see how "bulky" they are... they may require alot of effort to instal, for minimal horsepower gains. <img src="[url]http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/mustangtuning_2099_1312355568">[/url] [/QUOTE]
