header length (searched)
im planning on building a header for my s4 n/a 13b and im looking to get some information on different header lengths. i DID try searching but all i found was vague guidlines and people's opinions.
anyways, i understand that there are two options for the length of the primaries: long and short. im wondering if anyone can post a link or share some knowledge as to the ideal length of the primaries for a stock ported engine, and the pros/cons of short versus long setup. thanks for your time guys.

This is what I've gathered about collected headers for the NA engines.
-Short More high end, less low end torque
-Long, More low end torque, less high end hp.
Thats at least what I remember. Your not going to find any 'facts' here btw, this is a forum, and all it is, is a huge collection of peoples opinions. If you want facts, read a book.
