My question is why do you want straight pipes?[:'(] It shouldn't matter whether it would hurt your engine or not. For the sake of things I'll tell you it will hurt your engine just so you won't do it.

dude, don't do it. You might as well buy yourself a 1977 pickup with cherrybomb glass packs. That's how much credability you'd lose. Just don't do it. You can think about it, just don't do it. Keep mufflers of some kind on your car. Don't go the redneck mullet route. And don't do the 3 foot tall aluminum "kevlar" wing either.

Well I went ahead and put flows on it anyway. I can't believe how much power I gained. It's like something woke up in there. I don't know why I went with straight pipes to start with. I guess I wanted to be loud and did not have enough money at the time for anything else. But thanks for all the replies.

if you run pipes all the way out the back your fine, even off the header it is possible but it wont happen from driving it for a few days, i ran my truck off the headers for 10k miles and nothing happened and its been 20k miles since i had the exhaust redone and still no problems
