How long can you drive with just headers?

you guys and your local exhaust shops, i had to get my car towed 25 miles to the nearest shop :(

I'm most likely going to be taking my car ~2 hours away to Ephrata, PA to get my exhaust done once I swap in my s52.

Seriously guys, man up and give yourself a nice orgasm to the sounds and vibrations of an open piped straight six.

I drove mine about 5 miles to have my exhaust done. It was pretty damn loud. But other than the chances of burning an exhaust valve, you won't really hurt anything.

Where in Ephrata? That's where I live.

Red Run Exhaust, they did a fantastic job on our '26 project.

Cool. I've had them do 2 or 3 full exhausts for me, I live 5 minutes away. The only thing that sucks is that they do not know how to, or maybe don't care to, design a good flowing exhaust. They don't mandrel bend, and don't take great care when joining pipes. They made a Y-pipe for me when making my header back exhaust, and it was horrendous inside, the exhaust gas in my 2.5" pipes had an oblong 1" hole to squeeze through. I had to use an angle grinder and dremel to open it up.

Can't beat the price though! Labor for my full header-back exhaust, not including materials, was $70. They charged my $70 for stainless piping, and I provided my own cat and muffler.

I'm planning on driving open headers for a couple months! Gonna be sweet!

LOL The first thing I did after getting my swap started was put at least the mid section of the exhaust on. Was much more manageable then but I'm now wondering what I'll do when I get headers and need to get an exhaust made.
