ls1 with no muffler or cats I just about finished swaping a ls1 into my 73 vette. My questions is that. Right now I have block hugger headers then plan to run into custom side pipes . Which feed from a 3" collector then to 4" side mount pipes .will running straight pipes with no cats or muffles will it hurt the motor? Thanks

Yeah they do, I took my mufflers off today to swap them and started it up with an open x-pipe and it sounded kinda nasty. It sounded nice at idle, but revved up it was loud, raspy, and unrefined. Is that the aluminum block that does that? Makes it more metallic, high-pitched, and raspy sounding?

An exhaust hanger broke and then a muffler came off at the track last night. Luckily it fell off on the return lane, so I just got out and kicked it off to the side and then picked it up and put it in my trunk later. But damn did it sound good with one on and one off. Funny how it didn't sound good with both off though. Had to be real light on the throttle driving home from Cecil at night though lol.
