The equal length in theory is supposed to give a few extra horses over the shorty style. Right now the real thing to decide is pipe diameter. If you're going to keep it fairly close to stock, go with a 1 1/2 diameter shorty. If there's any chance at all you might up the power, go with the equal length in 1 5/8. On a stock engine, you'll notice an increase but once modded, they'll really shine. Last, go with the ceramic coating if you can. The nickle/chrome plating turns all colors and you'll wish you got the ceramic.
