I actually did have dual side exit with resonators but it was to raspy so i took them off the other day and now I'm running straight pipes side exit. I'm worried that I'll mess up the valves cause it's to free flowing, I wanna do hooker mufflers side exit what do you guys think?

Running open pipes will only make your car sound like crap and decrease low end power due to the lack of back pressure, you will not hurt the motor.
Also...You can only "float" a valve by over reving the motor or operating it at an PRM that the valve springs cannot properly close the valve due to excessive engine speed and the lifter litterally being launched off the tops of the cam lobes.

Maybe he means cold soaking a valve. Should be on Myth Busters. Some believe that an open header system will allow cold air to back into the exhaust and warp the valves , after shutdown, when they are hot? It will not be a problem with any type of exhaust extension...
