Just looked up open headers to get an idea of how bad it would be until I could afford full exhaust,some people were saying it would harm the motor. Any truth to this? I plan on making a 125 mile trip and probably racking up a total of 850 miles before exhaust.. at least 250 on the interstate.

Don't do it. Not only will you **** off every cop within 2 miles of you, you stand the chance of burning up the exhaust valves. Get your pipes first.

Something tells me that no matter how many times I tell you it's a bad idea, your going to do it anyways.

Something like that.
Really Jackedup, why take the risk ruining a really nice engine. If you're waiting this long for it, what's another day or two
