Don't ask me why, but I might need to drive without any j-pipe for a few days, meaning that exhaust flow comes straight out of the precats.

Other than the sound, can this do any damage to the car and engine?

 

No...but it is going to be ridiculously loud.

 

Its gunna be retarded loud..

 

His car is already retarded loud

 

I would not suggest doing that for any more than a 1-2 mile drive to get to a place where it will be fixed. You are going to have a massive amount of heat in the engine bay where it should not be, toxic fumes coming into the passenger area, and rediculous noise.

Don't do it. It's a risky move.

 

without the jpipe the car will levitate off the ground

 

^^^lmao!!!

 

the toxic exahust fumes may enter the cabin at stoplights and harm your health, maybe even kill you if its like a FL light.

 

Ehh...when I was 16 I had a '78 Firebird that had about ten different exhaust leaks and burned a quart of oil every few hundred miles and I'm still here!

 

it wont hurt. jus do it. i kno lots of ppl who rock Open DP and crazy exhaust..they are still alive haha

 

Sure going to draw alot of unwanted attention towards you. If you don't mind getting hassled by local police authorities go for it.

 

i wouldnt do it..you may float a valve

 

why not put the stock one back on for a bit or dnt drive?

 

Whatcha gettin done? =)

 

Finally someone asked.

My friend's cousin has a shop that specializes in custom parts. He wanted to use mine as a guinea pig for a few days to see if he can make a custom one for me.

 

Besides the fumes, noise, and potential overheating of components depending on where the exhaust is pointed, there are other issues.

With the exhaust cut off that close to the head, you can have problems. What happens is everything is fine until you shut it off. If cool ambient air can make it's way to the hot exhaust valves it can cause problems. The cats should prevent this from happening but it's a possiblity. At a minimum, drive it really easy and let it idle for a few seconds before shutting it down.

 

You did say in your first post not to ask why.

But, maybe he can make one better than the others?!

 

no need 4 that
