definitely wrong place to ask this question, but...
what is the difference in equal-length and...any other kind?
i'm suddenly interested in getting a y-pipe and i know next to nothing, and no search tells me the difference. equal length would require replacing the headers, if it means what i think it does...?

To the OP: If you want an equal length y pipe, you need to get headers as well, and as long as you plan on staying N/A, it really isn't worth it, unless you really really care about how it sounds. And they aren't cheap either...Cattman sells them for around $900.
Id just go with a SS y pipe from either Cattman (great fitment), Warpspeed or Budget to see the best gains.

I like the sound that comes from the stock y, which is very restrictive but at least is equal length. I just can't stand that ricey sound that comes from the non-equal length y's.

all of the links bring up empty pages, and a search returns 0 results no matter what you search for. it even says "0 products in 17 categories" on the home page.
yes thank you.

yeah, there's not a lot of info on the site. I did use it to contact them though. Emailed for info and then used the 800 # to order. Pipe was $250 CDN + $30 shipping (Canadian address). that's for an unpolished SS and all 3 gaskets. They had the pipe in stock. email is: BudgetExhaust@bellnet.ca
Had it installed today. Tried myself y'day but no way in hell I was getting the rusted nuts off the cat, so had my local shop do it - only cost me $30 to get the stock y off and the Budget pipe installed. haven't really had a chance to romp on it yet, but the nice low rumble from the exhaust (rest of exhaust is stock) is almost worth the price alone.

If I am not mistaken, the first gen Stillen y pipe is equal length and doesn't require headers right?
Correct. Good luck finding one of those now days though, very rare.
