Default Log VS Tubular manifolds and the Pros/Cons of each.

Hey guys I'm having a tough decision deciding which manifold to get. I don't want this to be a personalized post, so please list any and all pros/cons of log/tubular manifolds. Advantages one has over the other, your experience etc.

Also, how much better is equal length?

I'll start off by saying I used a HKS manifold and had no problems with it. I used it with a Garrett T28 and full boost was at 3500. Now that I have gotten a larger turbo i'm afraid spool time will be slower with a log style rather than tubular.

Here is a picture of the manifold I used:

All the pros and cons of each? No way, I don't have a Ph.D in thermodynamics.

There is way too much to cover in... a book.

Equal length is better, but it depends a lot on how extreme the setup is, how much you will gain.

I'm not asking for every single detal. Just a few reasons why you should/shouldn't get a shorty/log manifold rather than tubular.

Are Inline Pro manifolds considered to be log manifolds?

Pretty simple really, the tubular will flow better (the exhaust doesn't get all bunched up and swirled around before the turbo) and spool faster.
