the color generally has to do with the shape of the header such as how far from engine center the pipes are and what if any the down turn is at the collector. for example, some colors indicate they are for stagger engines where one side tilts away from the engine and the other toward the engine so the tail pipes can sneak by. other colors may have the same tilt from center but one is straight back while one tilts down. unfortunately I dont have a list of what the colors mean.

I have not measured them, I have seen boats with exhaust holes plugged and tips coming thru quite high or even above a swim platform where someone made stellings off a boat with numbered drives work. I hear primarys are around 34 " long and there about the closest your gonna come to real headers , Smitty
