Can I drive my C5 with open headers for about 15 miles?

If you get pulled over, make sure your en route to an exhaust shop... I have been pulled over in 3 different vehicles with open headers, all on my way to a shop, and as soon as the cop heard I was going in he just let me go... Some even complemented the cars..... Have fun... Make sure you rap it at all the rice burners with the big mufflers...

ive never heard of burning valves off open headers, if that was true why do most people run open headers at the track?
i think ive heard of on very very very rare occaisions warping a valve, but i dont think you will drive it in a blizzard or really cold weather =)

id have to agree with most of the people here, you will be fine, I rap open headers for about a year or so and my **** was fine, Ive done it on a few vehicles just for short periods of time since its entertaining, but I prefer a good sounding exhaust instead of open
