fyi... if you put your cut out back far enough then you wont have this prob.... but open headers/manifold is bad news... maybe not tom. or not a month or even a year... but it's inevidible....

i agree...it will defiantly eventually harm ****...oxford....if u have more training then the tech i work with...ASE master certified/ high performance certified, ford certified, truck/diesel master tech, and a GM master tech...(PS ill take a pic of all his certificates to prove it to u) he also told me..that it will be fine to run open headers but not reccomened for long periods of time because valves will eventually burn up/warp...so by u saying oh i have the training i know everything...STFU....so far u n ghost rider are the only 2 who think that nothing bad will happen...let ur buddy run open headers all day everyday..(which i bet he doesnt) but let it see what happens...

He does run them all day every day its his only car. He drives to school then 40 min to work everyday. Car still runs like a champ. If it wasn't for noise laws I'd run open longtubes and drive to you every month and let you do a compression and leak down test on my car from now until I get rid of the car just to prove that it will not hurt anything.

lemme guess, you still believe in Santa Clause too?

Really and truly I could care less what YOU think, or your "certified" mechanic, I know nothing will happen, but Ill never find out, because im NOT gonna run around with open headers because I do not want a ticket, nor a hearing aid.
