Open Downpipe, Carbon Monoxide??
I've been running it for about a yr now and per butt dyno it's way better than when I had the restrictive 2.5" cb.

I'm just worried about carbon monoxide lol, of course I have my windows down and plan a full3" straight. How dangerous is running open dp?

Edit --
If u run open dp, how long have you ran it? Winter is still here forcing me to have the windows up but am still saving for a 3" exhaust

It just very loud but will not harm anything unless your running really rich. then you may have fire balls under your car which can be dangerous.

Fumes suck. I ran open dp with e85 and whewww, after a while I'm sure it doesn't help brain cells.

I have no way in telling, just my complete faith in a jwT tune. No wideband

jwt tune= fire balls when you lift throttle. Its not usually the car that catches on fire but things on the ground.

Yeah the only reason I never ran open downpipe all the time was because it would literaly have your clothes smelling of gas and the fumes would give you a headache after a while. I prob lost a good amount of brain cells off of this also. Not safe to do all the time. Just get a cutout.
