open header
Would running open headers possibly damage a rotary engine? I know the exhaust note would sound like ****, but I was curious so I thought I would ask.

I dont see a problem with it. As long as you are running a header and a turndown pipe.
If you have a short pipe or and open exhaust to close to the ports you may warp a seal becouse of the extra o2. That is why a valve will warp in a piston enige with a cracked manifold.

yes it's extremely loud,even more so with a ported motor,the more overlap like a Peripheral port,the louder it will be,my engine hits 125 db at idle.but to answer your question,no it will not hurt your motor,just your ears.
