believe it or not air at high rpm's with open headers can get sucked back in and warp the valve... but like i said earlyer and ghostrider said it i believe one thing and you believe another and only time will tell who is really right... so if you think that it's ok to run open headers by all mean do it.... but for some odd reason when you get a warped valve you know why!

the only thing that seems remotely possible i dunno if its true is that you burn an O2 sensor because they sit on the midpipes. but that won't even damage that car. it will just give you bad gas milage... and i dunno know if that is even true... just what i heard

running open headers may run into warping your exhaust valve. Letting off the throttle from high RPMs will allow air to suck back through the header... and that's why it is bad to run open headers/manifold ALL DAY!!! at the track is fine and maybe a couple of cruises but i wouldnt do it all the time... but hey it's not my car, it's yours im just giving you my opinion.... and ghostrider02gt ask your shop if it's ok to run your car open headers all the time if they know anything (which i hope they do) they will say no just to race...

You DO NOT need to run around ALL DAY with open headers. Will burn up your valves. Couple of track runs wont hurt though.

for the people that say they have ran it many days at a time... thats not what i mean i mean like everyday all day... not one day on next day off... y'all can do w/e y'all want im just forewarning you that you might burn up a valve (ghostrider)...
