With no other pipes bolted onto the headers? Don't do it. Just be patient and get an exhaust on it.

i would imagine it would be alright for a short 5/10 min drive. but i wouldn't wanna do it any longer than that. its not hard to bolt up a midpipe tho, just throw it on quick.

I'd bolt the exhaust up so you can hear any unusual noises if any develop expecially with a new motor...be patient..you'll be glad you were
