    Why are F430 headers so short in comparison to the 348, 355 and 360??

    I thought RPM tunning was what dictated the header length??

    I am starting to think tubing diameter, collector design, merge sequence and cross-sectional flow area are bigger factors than just tube length.

    The 430 revs just as high (8500 RPM) as the others I mentioned (except for the 348 ;) ), so what is your take??

    BTW for those not familar:

    1st pic is stock 355 header

    2nd pic is NA aftermarket header

    3rd pic is 360 stock header

    4th pic is the stock 'short' 430 header in question
