Re: Any gains from open headers at track I'm sure that if you have dual cutouts dumping right after the headers it accomplishes the same thing as wide open.

Re: Any gains from open headers at track It would have to help some plus the weight savings if your removing the Y, I , and catback. That should be worth half of a tenth easy. I haven't done it yet , but I will when the weather cools down a bit so let us know if you do get good results. TIA.

Re: Any gains from open headers at track I have my whole exhaust down now waiting on my stuff for the true duals, I drove around last night for about 10 mins. I could not keep the car running. I lost all low end and it sucks! But once it gets to above 3500 RPM, than hold on, it takes off. It just take a few to get it there.
I wouldnt try it.

Re: Any gains from open headers at track Open headers with 12" extensions is the way to go. I cut my 3" y-pipe 12" back and welded on flanges. And the catback is flanged just before it goes over the rearend. Exaust comes off in just a few minutes. And I save 50lbs.

Re: Any gains from open headers at track The open exhaust debate has been going on around here for awhile. I'll just tell you my findings...
Going from 2 3" 1-chamber Flowmaster race mufflers to open headers (the mufflers/pipes are really short and come off with three bolts total) would net me a gain of .07-.08 sec and ~1mph on my last engine.

Re: Any gains from open headers at track Well as soon as I get a new fuel pump(new one on back order for 2-3 weeks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> )I will try her out without the Y and catback...I need to figure out a way to make the system removable with out having to drop the rearend <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
