Default Ran the BB with open headers

Thats one of the advantages of living next to a Harley family..nobody complained. I just had to do it while I had the opportunity because I hopefully wont have that exhaust system off again for along time. Sound was incredible I wanted to do a big smoky burnout infront of the house but that might be pushing it . Somehtins everyone ahould hear if they have a chance.

My favorite is driving around the block with open headers just after I complete an installation and setting off the car alarms.

A few years back - I installed a set of Hooker comp headers on my 4x4. I decided to cut off the old pipes and run open one morning to the exhaust shop that was putting the new pipes and mufflers under the truck. It was about 15 miles away and thru a few neighborhoods and thru down town

Wow it was great and my ears are still ringing

That was just a 350 - I can only imagine a bb
