Would it hurt my engine at at all if i ran it without one of the headers on from the lack of backpressure?

 

It won't do any catastrophic damage. It might run lean and sound wierd. But as far as I know, no it will not hurt it. Why would u want to do this in the first place?

 

It will hurt your hears, and probably start a fire under the hood, but I doubt it will hurt the engine.

 

I havent the car in a while and i am having trouble getting the driver's side header in.

 

i heard some where that you could possibly burn the valves out by running without 1 or 2 exhaust manifolds/headers.

 

it will burn the valves if you run it an extended time and toast everything under the hood

 

what happens also is that your valves get hot and when you turn engine off air is right there to get up in there so your valves cool way to fast...that warps or breaks them... plus under hood fire from heat.. wouldnt do it..
