No damage, you can run open headers if you want and think hearing is overrated.

Yes, it's possible. I put a set of Kax exhaust on mine 18 months ago. Straight back without crossover. Sounds really good, and there have been no issues. They were a little loud for my taste, and switched to borla touring axle back cans, but kept the rest of the straight pipes.

The crossover helps with scavenge which helps with hp.
