Do you run headers ?

So just curious. If you like the sound of headers then why put the exhaust manifolds and smog back on? For judging? Or maybe value?

for me its just preference in being stock 100% when the headers come off.
my car is all ready original with stock tires/interior/motor components etc...
so i really want to go that extra mile to have the car back in its original state.
as far as judging goes,yes it does help if your into that and it also increases value to have all your stock manifolds with smog system,especially if its a high horse motor like mine.
IMO i just think i give more respect to the guys that restore there cars back to original rather than having day 2 stuff on the car,so i plan on going back to the original set up myself. just my 2 cents
