Default Negative to start car up w/o o2 sensors in?

My sensors are being extended, and I can barely keep myself from starting her up after I put my longtubes on. She's just sitting there all alone 14 inches above ground All I wanna do is hear her purr.

Edit- I know it will throw an SES light, but my question is, is it *bad*. I see SES lights as a norm

It depends on what the code is really. If the ses light is blinking then it more then likely isnt hurting your engine but it might be hurting your performance........Oh and I wouldnt start your engine without the front 02's. Its just going to run like crap......

Yeah, the engine wont run well, or at all, so what you will hear won't be what it will really sound like. Wait for the extensions.

Default yes and no

If you start it up, it will sound like it has a mild cam in it, did this to my buddys....didnt throw the ses light untill about 15 minents of driving.If you have an editing program, then try it...it might convence you into a buying a cam.
