Right on, you'll have about the same kind of mods as my DD did and the same ones, lol.
I think later on you'll want a better header; Replicating the design might actually be a good thing but with larger primaries. The collector is small; like 2" IIRC. I'd go with a collector that matches your exhaust flange.

The Kamikaze header has a 2.5" collector, but it has only 1 3/4" primaries.
The OBX has 1 1/2" primaries if I remember correctly.
The primaries are the four tubes that come from the header flange, and the collector is the flange where they all collect into one piece.

Why not just modify your collector to be 2.5 inches?
