My 2 cents.

On my other 4 banger, the Italian job, I changed from a 4-2-1 race header with 
a 2" exhaust to a 4 - 1 equal length race header into a collector with a 2.5" 
exhaust.  I noticed a hugh increase in low and mid range torque but not really 
a difference at the high end.  The most notable difference is.... It sounds 
really cool.
