Exclamation Just finished intsalling my new ls6

How bad would it be if i started it open headers? No revs or anything stupid, just started to check all vitals & hear it lope for a while hehe

Note: all specs are in my sig

here ill post some pictures

I dont have pictures of the internals because well, i was to lazy to have to clean my hands, grab my phone and take them....


Im very much in shock on how easy it was to install a pretty much complete motor from the top

Open headers you will be okay, but may run a bit wierd because the o2 readings may get funky.

I wouldn't run it with open headers. You'll fry your O2s and motor will run like ****.

Gotta have at least 1.5>2 ft pipes on the headers. if you wanna run open.
someone might say, what about header cutouts,, well look at the way they dump. Reversion is unlikely.
