your o2 sensoers will get cold air from the outside in them, corrupting the reading slightly, nothing major.

Youll need to do the earplugs mod. And try and avoid the boys in blue. Theyd have a field day with you.

most people suggest putting a couple lengths of pipe on...12-18" is good.

have you started your car with just headers? I started mine up after I got them bolted up at 3am...It was LOUD. There is no way I could have driven around for a week like that.
