    Drive 50 miles with downpipe only?

    Need to get my cat section for my ix custom bent to fit. Will need to drive 50 miles with only the exhaust manifold, downpipe and o2 sensor installed. Aside from the legality of it, does this scare anyone?

          As long as it won't harm the engine I'll probably drive it rather than arrange a tow.

            It's gonna be ungodly loud. I have driven m20, m42, s50, s52 open headers. It's fun for like 30seconds, after that I was just looking out for cops.

              Don't do it. You're going to want to kill yourself before you get to the 401.

                We drive our lemons rat with a M52 with just headers and about 4 feet of pipe exiting out the passenger side under the door. We are one of the louder cars going down the track.

                M20 open headers is going to be loud. Got an old junk center section cut that and use that to get it to exit further down the body work.

                  We drove S50 and S52 swapped cars 20 miles with only headers. You'll be OK

                      I did this, but drove 15 miles. Oh it was loud and awesome. Good times.

                        Very very loud, also sets off car alarms reallly well.

                              don't overload the engine - you risk burning exhaust valves.

                              50 miles seems a bit far to me. I did about 5 and that was more than enough..
