2.75" collector to suit the amount of power I'm aiming for and therefore the amount of gases I'm expecting. 4-1 design which is best suited for high revving (Drag stylee). And curly-wurly primaries coz it looks "da bomb"... and adds turbulence to aid expelling the gases ;-)

This time round, 280+ bhp without being too optimistic. I have future plans to break the 300 mark as well, so this header is hopefully future proof, but I'll be building a whole New engine when it comes to it.

Wow that's wicked! I'm guess those figures are pretty hard to achieve on our engines.
I've always thought the prelude needs the power to match it's look. I've always fancied turbocharging but I know I'll miss the N\A noise and character.
