Running open exhaust manifoldsBadAndy743 05-01-2003, 01:58 AM When I put my ORY pipe on next week I may have to go drive it around with open exhaust manifolds, no cats, before I put the pipe on. Just to see what it sounds like. Are tehre any potential problems with this? As long as I let it warm up its not gonna shoot balls of fire out into the engine bay or anything right? Thanks Bad Andy sleeperZragtop 05-01-2003, 06:22 AM I wouldn't do it...the stockers are too short and may cause some issue's...besides it will sound like azz...just loud and out of tune :) BadAndy743 05-01-2003, 08:37 AM what kind of issues? SSactionLs1 05-01-2003, 08:58 AM i had to do this for about 4 minutes and the car ran like total crap...honestly youll get beat by a civic if you race open header.. its taht bad:o CPFarhood 05-01-2003, 09:13 AM I seriously doubt it's going to hurt anything unless your doing revlimiter burnouts or lay into it WOT for the whole trip. ChrisLS1Bird 05-01-2003, 09:22 AM why not? I used to run open heads at the street races... CPFarhood 05-01-2003, 09:27 AM Originally posted by ChrisLS1Bird why not?

Thanks Bad Andy It will run like crap because the front O2 sensors mount in the y-pipe and without their input the car will go into limp home and set all sorts of codes. BadAndy743 05-02-2003, 02:10 AM Does your Y pipe have bungs for the front O2 sensors? AL SS590 M6 05-02-2003, 05:28 AM Mine does for the fronts and for the rears even though they are useless (I plugged the rear ones) BadAndy743 05-02-2003, 11:51 AM What kind are you using? Satisfied? How bad is the gasoline smell? GoFast908Z 05-02-2003, 03:24 PM enjoy the really dirty engine. ;) Dr.Mudge 05-02-2003, 03:43 PM Fat heat build up in the engine compartment because they are so short. BadAndy743 05-02-2003, 05:06 PM Do you mean the engine will be dirty running out te manifolds or the ORP? AL SS590 M6 05-04-2003, 01:03 AM Originally posted by BadAndy743 What kind are you using? Satisfied? How bad is the gasoline smell? Bassani and I like it. Don't know about the gas smell. It's pretty much a track only car now or I would have left the cats on. | ||
