Open headers

I’m new to vq engines I just want to know if it’s safe enough for me to run open headers for an extended amount of time till I can get test pipes

For the love of those with functional hearing, please dont do this. (and for anyone who rides with you...)

you'll also get a lot of the fuel smell. I started up my car with open headers just to hear what it would sound like and highly DO NOT recommend it.

The lack of proper scavenging without running test pipes will also cut down on power output. No good reason to run an open exhaust for that reason alone.
