Default Temporary open header fix?

Just found out it'll be about two weeks until my y pipe shows up, which sucks cause I really need the car. Would I be able to run two 18 inch bullets off the collectors for a temporary fix? Could I drive like that without killing my o2s? Will they even fit? Thanks in advance!

you can but its pointless, I ran mine open headers for about 100 miles no problems. I wouldnt dog it tho, I was told you might experience valve float.

just my .02
I'd wait if i were you.

just run open headers, bullet turn downs wont really dampen anything, just easy up on the throttle.

ur o2's will be fine.
