To run with an open header means to run with an exhaust setup that terminates just a few inches past the final header tube collector... with no mufflers whatsoever.

Do that on your daily driver and you'll be on a first-name basis with every police officer in your town.

We ran my friends 56 chevy truck with open headers hehe, nothing like the unmuffled sound of a sbc . I wouldn't do it to a newer car though since if you get pulled over and have no cat hooked up you're screwed.
