No but it will sound cool and frighten the driver in the other lane. All part of a winning psychology.

won't really provide much gains, if any. Wouldn't be able to drive it very long either. There's so much stuff right at the end of the headers/manifold that can/will melt. If you're going to do it I would get a cheap set of dumps to move the exhaust further away.

oh when you are removing the headers dont try to do the conventional way, removing the bolts. they are a pain in the **** to get to. use a compact dremel and cut the header off, its much easier and quicker.

Routing the headers back only works if you put a pantie wet, derect injected nitrous system into the cylinders.
