Can I put my mufflers on my headers for first fireup?

[codfish]

I need to get the car to the exhaust shop for an exhaust system, but i want to get the engine broke in first.

I have 2" TTIs, with 3.5" collectors, and 3" reducers.  I don't want tot break it in with open headers, in case I can't hear any problems.

Do you guys see any problems in temporarily installing the Ultra Flows directly on the collector reducers?  Would putting the mufflers that close cause any increase in back pressure?  I have an evac system, so the less backpressure, the better.

thanks

I've driven cars to the exhaust shop like that.  It'll be fine.

You could also run some flex to move them near the rear to avoid the heat and fumes.

it isn't gonna knock the sound down all that much like that.  Its still going to be loud.

i broke mine in with a set of super turbos right on the headers, worked great.

I've done this very same thing before. Go for it.
