Default longtubes and highflows

i'm taking my exhaust off soon and i know that running just open headers is bad for the o2's, but what if i put on highflow cats at the collectors? would that be ok to run for a while....like 2-3 months ok....cause i heard of some peeps that run open headers with highflows all the time and they seem to be ok. i also know that it will be hella loud but not as loud with some cats...i think it will sound badass...lemme know guys so i know what to do

everything seems to vary when the front O2's go will out while running open headers... some people have run open headers for almost a year with no problems...

i don't see why putting cats behind the collector would do any harm except maybe burn them up

It will sound like rolling death, but your O2's will probably be OK.

would cats clean up the sound better then just clamping a bullet on each collector or just stick with the cats? i heard a 2002 Zo6 with just Longtubes and highflows and it had a stage III cam(thats what he called it....)and it wasn't really loud at all but it had a real nice lope to it thats really my reason for asking if cats would be best or just a bullet on each collector.

if it had a big cam you can't really use it as a comparison. I dont think cats on the collector would sound good *shrug*
