normal everyday driving

Will the install of headers and/or y-pipe hurt the 2k2 maximas for normal everyday driving? I will be running my car hard a few times here and there but for the most part just normal driving.

In that case, maybe you don't really need headers?

There is just something about knowing that a tap on the throttle makes your car go from cruisin to tearing apart asphalt... I will definately be getting headers, and a turbo (when available) for my 02. Practical? No. Do I care? HELL NO!
