Oh don't get me wrong, I didn't enjoy it. I had some severe issues with tailpipes and busted hangars, and was going dumps anyways. So no reason to hook my x pipe back up after a TOB install, since a shop would be welding most of the pieces together (freaking multiple piece BBK o/r x's...), so I just ran open headers for awhile. It was AWESOME on the drive home, and the first drive the next morning. After that, I was so sick of cranking up my system just to hear it over my car.i ran my car on open headers for about 10 seconds when i was swapping exhaust. must be an aquired taste, because i absolutely hated it
