Yes, but you're going to make one hell of a mess in your engine bay, if you can avoid it, try to. You could also try getting it up to speed and coasting for as much of the time as you can with the engine off.

^ WOOT!!!

and actully, the downpipe has everything on it excpet the flange that attaches to the exhaust... so i could technically bolt the down pipe on, and it will divert the exhaust away from the engine bay....i guess...

WOW son, were like long lost evil twins. Im building your eaxct same setup except im going with the MS&S rather than emanage. Im also planning on driving my car 2 miles to the closest exhaust place without a dp so they can fab me one on spot. Im not sure what sonic considers a mess though.

x2. Driving it home with the dp on but not hooked to an exhaust will get you that far. Just coast when passing the cop who's shooting radar so as to not wake them up.

LOL me and my two buddys all got headers for our FBs on the same weekend. My exhaust shop deosnt install headers, you have to do it befoire they will intsall your exhaust. So, 7AM ssaturday moring there was 3 FBs drving through town on open headers. That was some fun ****. And we had to go ALL the way across town, and we were all ripping on 'em the whole way. IT was beautiful. Sorry. little off topic.
