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 ***** of fire out into the engine bay or anything right? Thanks



Bad Andy

 

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

 

what kind of issues?

 

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

 

I seriously doubt it's going to hurt anything unless your doing revlimiter burnouts or lay into it WOT for the whole trip.

 

why not? I used to run open heads at the street races...

 

Why in hell would you do something that pointless?

 

He cant be serious.

 

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.

 

Does your Y pipe have bungs for the front O2 sensors?

 

Mine does for the fronts and for the rears even though they are useless (I plugged the rear ones)

 

What kind are you using? Satisfied? How bad is the gasoline smell?

 

enjoy the really dirty engine.

 

Fat heat build up in the engine compartment because they are so short.

 

Do you mean the engine will be dirty running out te manifolds or the ORP?
