For a dedicated track car, having equal length primaries might make a difference. I know TPIS aren't. I was going to purchase a set years ago and spoke with Myron Cottrell (owner) who confirmed they weren't. I'm running ARH which is a quality header (among others including TPIS) and have primaries that are equal or close to equal lenth.

TPIS here. Plug change is a snap. Fit is great on my 87. I have a TPIS intake and it is also well designed. One problem with TPIS is, they will lie to you. Our cars are so old I dont think they keep a lot of stuff in stock. I ordered my headers and they said they would ship out in 2 days.
I think I got them 2 1/2 weeks later.

I just reinstalled my ARH headers last night after having my heads freshened up. Took less than 15 minutes including tightening bolts. Good ground clearance and I can change plugs in 10 minutes. The only caveat is if you have the factory oil cooler, you will need to install a remote filter. If you are not running the heat exchanger, you're good to go. Here are a couple of pictures showing the plug access.

I run Melrose Headers on my 91 and Stainless Works on my 96. Both fit nice. I have heard over the years that the TPIS headers fit nice.
As far as Exotic Muscle, I just purchase an item off of them and everything was as described and explained. They seem to have more C4 parts than any other vendor, especially body parts. I would recommend them and will purchase from them again.
