ill start like this i have a 99 1500 sport 4x4 I'm about to put long tubes on an i have been wondering will it hurt my truck any to drive home from the shop with open headers i only ask this cause I've heard elders say it burns your valves just wondering if theres ant truth to this

 

Just for clarification are you talking about driving home with NO exhaust what so ever? Or driving home with long tubes on and nothing after that?

I've heard the same thing about burnt valves, don't know if it's true.

 

Plenty of truth to that, valves need a little back pressure. But just driving a short distance won't do any harm.

 

Open headers will be fine, and won't cause any problems, no matter how long you drive it that way.

NO manifolds at all though, will burn valves in pretty short order.

 

i will be driving with the headers only to home an then a muffler shop plan on doing true dual with high flow cats an two used flow masters i had donated to me.

 

You'll be fine then!

 

We will also require a video of finished exhaust or it didnt happen...

 

no i haven't done this yet I've actually had the headers in my garage for a few years an finally making time to put them on ill most likely be putting them on within the month or so i will be glad to put a video when i get it done

 

And the sound will be OMFG I LOVE IT loud. Lol.

 

ok guys I'm getting closer to getting the headers put on but before i go through with it i wanna get some more input from y'all an see what everyone thinks. I already own headmen long tube headers the rest of the system is going to be high flow cats a x pipe and the two flow master that was donated and i plan on using 2.5in pipe. would like feed back on this setup also would like to know of a good cat thinking about goin with magna flow but i don't know this is my first exhaust system other than just a muffler. any input is much appreciated.
