Well I had my car in a shop for a while... And pretty much they threw out my stock exhaust manifold cause i was going turbo. Well now I dont have time to install the turbo kit and all that. Cause everyone is going on xmas leave, and i gotta stay and work. And i dont feel like walking everywhere for 3 weeks. So Im pretty much just installing the motor completely stock till after xmas... Im not going to spend 120 on a used rusted out exhaust manifold from the salvage yards around here (yes that was the cheapest i could find... and there are like 50 salvage yards here) So ya... If i ordered one... it would be here about the time i install my turbo kit anyways... so im not gonna do that.

So will it damage anything to run my car with out an exhaust manifold for like 2-3 weeks? Im not worried about the noise or emissions. Fort bliss can suck on my junk. Im just not wanting to damage anything in my engine bay from it shooting flames out and all that fun stuff...

You stand a great chance of burning/warping your valves do to the fast temp changes...

If you need am Exhaust Manifold, buy a cheap Pacesetter header and bolt it up.. or cruise Ebay...

If you were in Houston, I'd give you the '95 manifold sitting on my garage floor

Thats the thing... I dont want to order one... Cause everyone signs out on leave tomorrow night at midnight. So I have to walk over a mile to the motorpool i work at in the morning. Walk back for lunch, or not even eat lunch cause by the time i get to my destination, i would have to turn around and run back. Then walk the distance back to my room. Fuck that shit. I need something asap lol.

Honestly man I'll goto the junk yard near me and pull it and sell it to you if you need it. I try to go at least once a week so if you really need it just ask, but by the time shipping and cost of it is said and done it will be around ~80 anyway.
