Yea uh cuz theres not a problem with my valves at all, and how is a glasspack any different than straight pipe other than a little fiberglass? Also, if a straight pipe exaust system can burn valves, how can you run open headers? or even better shorties? Burnt valves come from a leaned out condition, a leak at the manifold, or no manifold at all. And i can tell you even running open manifolds wont always burn a valve... our feedtruck which is a 73 international with the 400" V6 has had a broken manifold for the last ... hell 15 years or so.
