I have heard that running stright pipes will hurt your valves because of the cold air coming back in too fast and warping the valves, but i think if you have straight pipes all the way back you should be fine

you will be fine that valve thing is sorta a myth the only way you might hurt them is if you run with no exhaust manifolds
