RE: open headers
I started mine up with just the manifolds on while I was swapping the H pipe. didn't drive it tho cuz it was up on 4 jackstands... not about to un jack and re jack it up just to hear how loud it can be.
Sounds kina cool I guess in the loud sense, if I had had beefier than stock camshafts it would have sounded better

RE: open headers
If your running with just open headers, you better keep a close eye WHERE those headers are pointing all that HOT exhaust gas. You might wind up with a hotfoot, or melt something under the car with all that heat

RE: open headers
I did it with my car. I loved the sound and it was so LOUD. I was putting a new transmission in my car, and I decided I wanted to start he without a midpipe. My buddy who lives a couple blocks over called me and said that I woke him up. Haha.
