I am SO tempted to run my car with open stacks, if just for a little while.
I like the fact of the extra power, and they look SO cool.
I just don't want to suck a bird or potato chip bag into one of the stacks going down the road. Plus, I would think a jaunt down a dirt road would probably give the engine a good internal "sanding".
I'll probably pop the air cleaners off and run the car for a day, maybe for some photo opportunities, then put the air cleaners back on.
As much of a pain as this motor has been, I don't want to be the cause of the next major issue that arises if I can help it.
