Close enough for government work for sure
The 41021 has more volume than the 41029 but less than 41030
The different shapes of headers create different pulse wave escape/return effects , some work well with some pipes ,some work well with some engines and some you just don't wanna use
The exhaust length, shape and all that hoopla is a deeeeeeeeep conversation fershur , do some research
