Header building

How critical is it, for the tubes to be the same length when building headers?

Are there important dos and don'ts when building them?

Header builders seem to be a dying breed around Ohio, so we may have to try it ourselves.

In a door car, ease of installation, spark plug access and ground clearance takes precedence over equal length.

On a Stocker, it's very critical. Try to get them within 2". Also, get your primary tubes "phased" in the collectors correctly and get your "math" right what ever formula you use!
