I have a 1993 Legacy and was wondering if there are any unequal length headers that will fit my car? I have not found anything.
I looked through many old post's and did not see anything so don't get mad if it's already been posted.

This may be a dumb question. I'm new to Subaru's and don't know much about them.
But how do I know if I have a dual port head?

look under the car up where the exhaust bolts to the head. see it there two(dual port) or one(single port) pipes coming out of the head. or if theres two stud holding the manifold to the head its single port. if theres three its dual port

Those are equal length though right? I do not like the tone of equal length headers. Is there anything for unequal length?

There are plenty of info here about the Equal length and Unequal length header.

Equal length = more power but not much boxer rumble.
Unequal length = less power but more boxer rumble.

The Unequal length header is where one of the piping is shorter than the other piping. Hence unequal length.

Try looking on eBay and on the forums for it.

This applies to any length of header, Equal, Unequal, Semi-Equal, Quasi-Equal, you name it.

For the record, as far as I know, Semi and Quasi-Equal length headers do not exist. =p
