i dont think the gains would be worth the troubles i have heard alot of people complaining about problems with the equals installing plugs and routing wires because the headers get in the way

I would keep what you have. Every equal lenght I have ever had the joy to work with got a couple of choice words.

I concur. Keep what you have.
$100 for a set of BBK used headers is not that much of a bargain anyways.
