I got my hands on both sets of the header options for a comparison. We’ve often said the Aerostar units are “shorties” next to the Edelbrocks, yet they are not that different, especially when it comes to the short bank set.
In addition to more balanced tube length, the Aerostar also have same diameter extractors on both sides as where the Edelbrocks have ~1/4” narrower pipes on the drivers/short side.
Im not an exhaust tech but I would wager the Aerostar units would perform near 1:1 with the Edelbrocks if not outperform on a mild build due to the symmetry if you were running something like true duals(boo) or an H pipe.
