Default open heads

looking at putting a set of loudmouths on my car, but just for kicks i wanna hear my '92 5.0 with open headers just to compare sounds. where is the best place to open up the heads? ive got a friend who on his truck opened up the pipe right before the muffler, but on my dads trans am, it's disconnected way up towards the front of the car? really, which is the easiest way to do it?

Well open headers is just that. Disconnect your h-pipe from the headers and let-er-rip!!!
