ok so i just got a quick thought that came in my head.... i was reading a couple header threads about how loud they are....

what bad could result if say.... someone was to start their car with NO header attached??

 

ran open header
loud and annoying, not a good sound

 

like how loud??

 

and im guesing no performance benifits...


OH AND FOR THE RECORD. NOOO IM NOT THINKING BAOUT DOING THIS .

 

i did it way back when i put my headers on, just for ____s and giggles
as loud if not louder than NHRA sport compacts staging
my boss almost whomped my a**, since we reved up in the shop during hours

 

hahah. i wanted to try it when i install my header, but i didnt wanna turn the car on here a gross sound and then have my car **** the bed on me lol. i just wanna hear it and scare the neighbors lol

 

i wouldn't do it again

 

lol was it that bad?

 

yea, pretty much
and i just wouldn't do it again, take a chance on hurting anything

 

what could doing that hurt?

 

One time I went to the track I unbolted the stock axle back, it was insanely loud and did not sound good at all.

Track times were slightly better, but not much different. Maybe half a tenth different.

One guy at the track actually liked the sound of it.. But I sure as hell didn't.

 

I think davedave means open exhaust port! not open header. I personally thing the car will die within seconds because of the lack of O2 sensor.

 

lol. im a sick man, so id probly like it too much

 

never thought about the 02 sensor, but yea i was tlakin about turning the car on W/O a header

 

yea, i ran open header not open port
bad idea

 

I know that in V8s yo can actualy melt the valves doing that since the temperature will fluctuate so much more as cold is sucked back into the head after the cylinder fires. The hot to cold cycling is the issue that the exhaust manifold doesnt let happen. They even warn of running the car with open shorty headers for the same reason. I dont know if it will effect a tC and its motor but its something to think about.

 

ok i wont do it lol.

 

hahahaha, if you decide to..

make a vid k ? hahahaha

 

its not going to be something that you can hear, just a lot of fuzzy noise,really

 

DO IT!!>. hahaha

Just kidding.. Dont
