Open Headers!! A friend and I just finished installing my Pacesetter LT's last nite. The install went pretty smooth but we finished in the middle of the nite and i had to drive home with open headers. We pushed it out of the garage so we wouldnt wake his parents. I've never heard open headers until i started my car.......And that **** was EXTREMELY LOUD!! 
I had to drive about 30 minutes on the freeway with them. The inside of the car sounded like it was going to fall apart.
I just wanted to tell you guys my experience.
BTW.....I have to drive another 20 minutes to the exhaust shop to get my duals put on later today.
I hope i dont see any cops!

It took about 6 hours. We were going slow because it was very cold. We had the garge door open and it was like 30 degrees. I couldnt feel my fingers anymore but we had to get it done.
PS.....all the cars parked outside had ice all over them. It was to cold to be installing headers

It sounds like **** and is way too loud. I will get some clips up soon. It was just as cold as the meet the other nite 
After installing my H/C i had her with open headers also, made me feel like i was at the staging lanes of a NHRA event. Loud isn't even the word to describe it! GL getting the car to the shop, i had the cops called on me twice and i was in a garage... 
cool man. when they're doing the install make sure to watch them like a hawk. do not let them get sloppy because if they do, there goes your ground clearance. good luck to yah.
