the longer length headers create more power. how? i'm not really sure, perhaps someone else could chime in

Not exactly. The "black magic" involved in developing a good header is a lot more complex than simply making the tubes longer. Check this link out. It has some very good info that will probably help you out.

I think it's something along the lines of an equal length shorty header creates less back pressure so everything is just right in the exhaust and helps with better exhaust scavenging?

Tuned are a little better. I've run both and liked neither.
