Open Headers I love the sound of Open long tubes(heard it on a friends car after kooks install and at LS1Sounds.com) and would like to run them myself permanately. Is this bad in any way for the car? And what are the chances that I will run in to problems with local Police?
Thanks!

Your chance of running into trouble with the cops... 100%
You'd go through O2 sensors like crazy also. I wouldn't recommend running open headers on an everyday basis. The drone and vibration would drive you crazy, and the fumes would put you to sleep.. haha

Since you seem to like it loud, you should try using some collector mufflers. Or you could just use a bullet muffler as an extension. It would quiet it down a bit and help to protect the O2s also.

ADD 18-20 " of pipe to headers ( this prevent the o2's from reading raw air -and allow them to work ) I run full open at the first bend in my off-road pipe, which is about 20 " from front o2's, when open engine rev faster ( I set limit @ 6800,
shift 1-2 @6600, 2-3 @ 6550 and never hit limit, BUT IF run open with same shift points , WILL jump on rev limit and go nuts,
sounds great but cops going to jump on u
