NC s4 n/a exhaust

Went ahead and picked up a REV II exhaust for 200 from a local and am thinking about hooking it up on my S4 n/a to replace the stock setup. Seeing as the S4 uses back pressure to open the secondary ports what's my best option for a header? Or should I use the stock exhaust manifold with a 2" - 3" adapter? I figure a header will add better flow but I'm not sure as to how to keep the backpressure tube. Any ideas or experience appreciated.

racing beat sells the header with a pick up tube on it. I went with the true dual exhaust for mine.

Eliminate the exhaust pressure method... Convert to airpump pressure. Much more reliable.

link? or search term? I tried searching and came up with a lot of threads just talking about wanting to do it instead of explaining.

You use a vac/pressure solenoid and a RPM activated switch

You can ignore the VDI part unless you want to swap to an S5 intake.

Otherwise, search for posts with my username and you should be able to find a picture of the ghetto/analog method.. Basically:
Air pump pressure to a T, one end steps down and goes to the 5th/6th nipple, the other has a valve on it that dumps to air [or ideally the ACV's silencer].. Just adjust the valve so that when you hit ~36-3800RPMs the ports are fully open.
