The Point of Headers?
So what do they do...i never actually looked into it? What if i took them off? what will it sound like? 
I know it is illegal but if you took them off how long could you ride around with the off? HAHAHA jus a question!!!! even though it is a dum one 
Also will it make it go faster? if i took them off of my 91 accord would i show the same results? i think i'm gonna test it out on my 91 accord!!!!
