Default Exhaust Dumps

Has anyone here bolted exhaust dumps on the ends of your headers? If so did you run into any problems during the install? I am thinking of having a an off road y-pipe for normal DD, but then I could take the plates off when I go to the track and or race.

yeah, they are usually put further down the y-pipe to avoid getting fresh air on the O2's.

this is an example. i wouldnt reccomend putting them directly off the headers, i would do somthing like this. you could put them directly on the headers on an older car without O2's, but there is a higher risk of burning them out with them that close.

Atleast 18" is desired for saving the life of your O2 sensors.

Thanks for the heads up on the O2 sensors. I will probably only install one at the end of the Y-pipe now.
