Running with Cutout open. Ive heard that cold air can get to your valves and bend them. Do any of you guys worry about this? I have my cutout right before the pipe goes over the axle and a gutted cat. Let me know about this.

I have my cutouts about 6 inches off the headers on shorties and i havent had a problem yet. I'd think it would have to be really cold outside for that to happen.

The pipe should stay warm long enough to heat the air a bit even on a really cold day and give the valves time to cool enough. I've only heard of valves doing that when no manifold was on there. Don't know how or why that happened though.
