you say that like it was a challenge.


Personally, I can't stand open headers on my car. Not with the cam I am running. It is bad enough through a full exhaust.

I hate driving with open headers because it sounds like ****! Oh yeah....its too loud but i'm use to it now. I only have to drive to school tomorrow and to the shop to get the duals put on. If i have to drive another day with open headers i will probably go crazy.

I went to work this morning smelling like exhaust and when i came home from work i still smelled like exhaust.

Most likely a honda lol. I love the sound of a v8 screamin with open headers! For some reason an ls1 is like 10x louder than my nova was with open headers. I really love the sound of it but in the camaro it does get annoying very quick lol I love the looks people give you and when you open it up to me its music to my ears. The camaro is going to be on a 110 lsa so it should sound real mean with open headers but it will be short lived because i dont want to have to pay for another ticket and i believe its now a moving violation in chicago instead of a citation.... To each their own...

yes i left the emissions crap on. I just didnt feel like putting it back on in the future and it doesnt improve performance.

Driving with open headers has been pretty funny even though i cant stand it. I love everyones reactions. As i drive by they look like i just smelled some ****.
