you will NEVER blow a header gasket from runnin open headers, what it can do is fry your 02 sensors b/c they will recieve fresh air which can harm them

Fixed!

No worry with the gaskets, in fact, they will seal better running open headers. The O2's (as mentioned), will crap out from running open headers too long. A section of pipe attatched to the collectors (18" or so) will protect them.
