Re: headers,help
If you're not driving too terribly far it will be fine. It also depends on how picky the local Police are about noise. You could always install some temporary mufflers.

Re: headers,help
ive driven my 64 c10 with vortec 350 around the block on open long tube headers. gets a lot of looks. I didnt get pulled over but easily could have been if a cop was around. Try to keep the rpms downs as much as you can

Re: headers,help
Your good. I've driven vehicles to the muffler shop with just manifolds in So Cal, no issues.

Re: headers,help
I drove my '57 Chevy to high school for two years with open fenderwell headers with no problems. That is, no MECHANICAL problems!

Re: headers,help
I drove mine with mid length headers to the muffler shop but it was only a few blocks. As long as you don't need to step on it and can use light throttle you should be fine. As mentioned by others it all depends on your area and how likely you are to encounter a cop who won't let your loud pipes slide.
