Shoot.....don't even run the headers. Just let the exhaust shoot out the side of the heads.

Has anyone actually ever done this?

It's been tried before. Last I heard, it did something weird like sucking air and it wound up burning valves ... not to mention it would gag a driver and cause unconsciousness/death from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Last time I started up a Fox with an off-road H-pipe and no mufflers, it sounded like a tractor.

My cousin did when he got his 305 TPI thirdgen running but hadn't bought headers yet. I wouldn't let him leave it running more than a few seconds, but when I wasn't there I'm not sure what he did.

It seems like extended running like that would absolutely FRY things under hood.

I have a MAC headers/ Offroad xpipe and Mac Catback all 2.5" with 3" tips. Haven't heard anyone else like it. Sounds like a Ferrari and a Mustang had a love child. Not too choppy but sounds strong as hell. None of that Echo you usually hear with flowmasters.
