white smoke. the car would start shaking and it sound like a wrx or something and then when i start moving faster it would change sound back to normal. and you dont loose power on open headers.

1). You only have one HEADER on your car
2). Open HEADER can cause a loss of power. although you are arguing otherwise, I am SURE you have actually dynoed to prove us wrong?
3). White smoke = coolant. WRX sound = lack of ignition on a cylinder. Rough running = cylinder compression/ignition is down. Do a compression test. Suspect head gasket.

I know it can cause a lack of torque due to less back pressure from the small diameter piping, but in the top end there is no loss at all, in fact, probably a gain. But it isnt smart to runopen header. I did on my prelude for 3 months b/c I couldnt afford exhaust, im lucky i didnt fvck something up...

Loss of back pressure=loss of low end.
