I'm running open headers on my z71 right now. It is loud as anything too. I did the header install Fri night with intentions of going to the muffler shop Sat morning, but they are closed Sat's beginning this month. I will get a 10% discount for waiting til Mon though! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I like the sounds of the TOG headers so much I have decided to put cutouts on for when I want to play around and go to the track! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

I'm running SLP LT's with no cats and Loudmouth exhaust. Its insanly loud and basically sounds like I'm running open headers. I get high every day from smelling the fumes..I feel sorry for the cars behind me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

<strong> I was told by a shop that cold air sucking up through the headers can cause damage to vales because of the hot metal getting hit with cold air.
