Can carbureted vehicles work correctly with only headers or, no downpipe/exhaust pipe?
>>15271615
Yes you stupid fucking retard.
You stupid bitch
>>15271615
no
anyone who says it will is a cuck
>>15271615
Not until it is exorcised by an old priest and a young priest.
>>15271615
Do we want to know why you're asking?
>>15271615
Don't listen to these trolls, OP.
If there's no backpressure the engine will vibrate apart and break fuel lines/clog injectors
Yes, it can.
Hard to get the low end to feel good, but that's not why you dump after the header
>>15271742
No
The reason i'm asking is that i thought headers/manifold provided flow for the exhaust gasses to escape the exhaust ports. I want to try it for reasons.
it will sound like shit and run like it too
>>15271615
A carb'd engine (or TBI, or MPI, or diesel) will run with nothing but open ports. I sure as fuck wouldn't want to drive it like that but yes, it will run.
>>15271742
You don't need back pressure you dumb ass, you need exhaust velocity. Back pressure helps fucking nothing
>>15271615
Depends what you mean by 'correctly'
Will it run? sure.
Will it be loud as fuck and give you a headache? Yep.

>you need exhaust velocity.
Yes, learn me about this, what role does this play in an engine's performance?
Also what about valve warping?
>>15271742
>engines need backpressure
>falling for this mene
>>15272924
Valve warping occurs when the valve is cooled too quickly. Such as if you run it for extended periods of time with open ports and then let it cool.

Thanks holmes. I tried googling but i was getting a bunch of literal rocket science.
