Straight headers?

If i went out and bought some headers which i plan on doing soon, could i run just headers straight out with no emissions....yes this might be a little against the law, but they dont check emissions here, and would this give me any better mpg? some people tell me with out any back pressure your valves may burn. I have a 95' 5.8ltr windsor EFI eddie bauer bronco w/ 4" lift 35" bfg M/t's and single to dual exhaust w/ glass packs

At least put some glass packs on. Running open headers will drive you and your neighbors crazy, plus you will probably pass-out at the wheel from all the fumes seeping into the cab.

yeah, right after the headers put a 90 degree bend. Then Glasspacks out the the side of the truck with a stailess tip! That wood be sweet!
