Your first uncorked trip, to the muffler shop...
Had header mufflers on my 1st car and put my own tail pipes on so didn't drive to the muffler shop. But did open them up and drive it to school for the homecoming parade. Thru downtown Fortville Indiana with the cops direction traffic.
After the parade and football game had a dance at the school with NO PASS OUT ALLOWED.
it was getting cold outside so I ask if I could go out and close my headers, he told me " Well I don't know what headers are but you better go close them since it is getting cold.
Good thing since I doubt all the cops outside the school would have been like the ones downtown leaving with open headers for a 13 mile drive home.
My Dart was drove with open headers to get the exhaust on it, but only about 4 miles.
My dad passed away before I got the dart done. He had told me I would NEVER get it finished. So one day with the engine installed, one seat, no hood, front fenders, lights or exhaust. I had to move it out of my trailer and so I ask dad if he wanted to take it down the road. He hopped in and drove it open headers and basicly a running shell of a car. Wish he could have seen it painted and completed, I think it would have made him happy.
