I'm quite a noob when it comes to header design, but apart from packaging and actual pipe diameter, I have a rough idea of what I'll want to do when it comes time to build a header.
What R P M range do you want the headers to be most effective? Are you going for more torque or more HP? What will the exhaust gas velocity be? This is all assuming you already have the motor built the way you want it.
Do a search on exhaust gas scaveging. That should answer a few questions and raise a few more.
I dunno man. Building a set of pipes is no easy task unless maybe you're building them for a top fuel dragster. Other than that there are quite a few things to think about and after you've thought about them all the damn things gotta fit.
It's a good question though. Good luck on finding the answer. Post it here when you do, I'd like to know it.
