open headers
not a good idea
backpressure acts as a cooling agent

If you want to run open headers it is not going to hurt anything but your ears. It may involve a few tickets from the police beings as they don't really care for it. Get you an extended collector tube, paint it all on color, like black, run your car down the track about 5 times or around town for a few minutes and where ever the paint stops burning on the collector, cut it off right there. That's how the serious guys do it at the track. In my opinion, I would just run a small peice of pipe to a turbo muffler and dump it behind the muffler.
