What is proposed is that a tuned 4 to 1 header be built.
This has runners 2.5 to 3 times longer than the SI/SII/SIII header,
that actually will resonate with RPMs of interest.
The tri-y arrangement used on the early stock engines doesnt
act much like a header till very high RPMs. In fact beyond the
range that the engine will run to under any circumstances.
This due to the fact that the runner lengths are on the order of 15
inches.
This makes the early exhaust header little better than that of a
stock cast exhaust.
The next pitfall though lies in that an alternator wont fit beneath the
stock header.
