You want to take off your exhuast manifold? Wont your car run extremely loud and poorly since your O2 sensor wont be reading anymore? --------------------  |

do not do this. since the o2 sensors wont be connected to it, ur car will run irregularly, and hurt the engine as well.

no back pressure, you'll burn the valves. it'll be really loud and might shoot flames out and catch other things in the bay on fire...

bad idea..... there are a lot more inexpensive ways to get a little power without hurting the engine and won't give you hearing loss, unless you drive Defgeph's car.

whooo! Reading that first part where it sounded like you meant the actual manifold to come off....left me completly speechless and bug-eyed! Almost had to grab my chest in shock! (where's the icon hitting his head on a wall when you need it)
But when you fixed it by stating the cover...a big sigh of relief..... Heat wrap the pipes and leave the cover on for driving, for shows take off the cover. That's my 2 cents. --------------------  CLOSED on 25 acres! -shop coming soon.... |
