Open Headers and Exhaust Valves Burning?

[74bigblock]

Should I be concerned with my exhaust valves burning up if I'm running my Hookers with no inserts?

Is there enough back pressure from the main tubes to prevent this from happening?

What do you think?

Thanks,
Dave

No harm will come. The old adage about not running any manifolds at all, and the resultant possible chance of warping an exhaust valve due to the close proximity of the hot valve and cold air, is what you're thinking of I'll bet.

See this thread in the C1/C2 forum: Running my 62 with no exhaust pipes.

Tape it

What do you think?

Tee, put some tape on it! Happy 4.1.
