O2 sensor ?

I just installed QTP's to replace my Pacesetters. I need to drive it with open headers to the muffler shop. Do I risk damaging anything in doing this? I was told I could damage a O2 running open loop? It will be about a 1/2 hr. drive. I need advice as not to damage or incur added expense. Thanks

I used to drive around open headers all the time with no issues. Every once in a while I would get the SES lightt for a day or so. That was about it.

I would think that if you just pull the 02s it should just constantly run open loop, hence no damage to the 02s? Or is that observation totally fucked. BTW I don't think orangeapeel ever sleeps.
