Default open header

Hey guys i have a question. I have been frequenting on exhaust setups for my 2002 s2k and had finally placed an order for the single j's racing 70mm exhaust. It's coming in in about 3 days.

The concern is though that i want to put it on as soon as i get it but don't ahve too much time that day to take off the exhaust and put the new one on(WORK). So i was just debating running open header for the three days.

Are there any cons about driving like that for a couple of days..... other than the obvious nature of most likely getting pulled over?


Thanks again guys!

Don't do it, it's stupid loud. I drove for 15 minutes from my house to InlinePro running an open downpipe. I couldn't hear by the time I got there.

Is your flame suit on? If it is, it might protect you from all the exhaust fumes leaking into your cabin. If it's not on, grab your ankles and wait for me.

You do know that the volume of an open header kills sperm and after 3 days you'll be sterile don't you?

it takes 10 maybe 15 minutes tops to take off the stock exhaust and then like 5 more minutes to put in the new one on how do you not have time? wake up a little earlier or go to sleep a little later
