Default Is there any gain from running open headers at the track only

I run true duals on the street and i have heard of peeps putting bullets on the headers im curious is there a gain by just running open headers at the track i know it will be loud as **** and sound like **** but im just trying to squeeze all the performance out of my car i can and save a lil more weight while at the track.

I would suggest you run a section of pipe after the headers about 10-12" long for the 02's.

I'd open it after the X or H, if you have one...
