If you think they are a good deal then get them. I've owned equal lengths and plug changes took a lot longer then unequals (had them too). I've burnt the #3 wire a few times also.

I have noticed a bunch of people only mention they will only add a few hp and not be worth it...but as similar with most things, they just look at peak power increase, what is the area under the curve across the board?

the unequal length headers are going to much easier to install than the equal length. And you will only pick up a few HP with equal length. If you are really looking for HP and don't care about the difficulty of the install then go with some longtubes. They sound great and will give you a good amount of HP. You will have to get a different H or X pipe to fit the longtubes though. And longtubes are alot more money.
