Message:
I WAS messing around with my r/t earlier trying to see if I could install headers. I took off the stock ehaust manifold partially and started the engine, it sounded like a god! I seemed to see blue comustion or fuel or something? is it safe to run with out exhaust manifolds? besides emissions what are some problems i could run into? Thanks.

Running an engine without exhaust manifolds is a NO NO!!! The exhaust valves get hot, then when you shut the motor off, cold air can get up in there warping the valve. Then it wont seat properly after that. Hope you didnt run it that long. Be prepared.

Yes it would, but I dont think you would enjoy driving like that. It would be so loud inside the cab you wouldnt even be able to hear yourself think! Good luck though :)
