Default Oxygen Sensor Question

Can you run the car without the front O2's plugged in long enough to get my exhaust put on tomorrow? I have to drive the car around 200 miles round trip but since I put long tubes on I dont have the wire long enough to plug in to the harness. I have the Bosch 13111 ordered I was just wondering if this will cause me to be too lean or too rich. If too rich Im not so worried but I dont want to be too lean. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

It is going to run very very rich without being tuned for it. I bet that will be a headache to drive around. I would do your best not to beat on it, its going to dump a lot of fuel to try and stay safe.

I thought about doing that but it dont have any of the thermal barrier protection on it and Im afraid the headers will melt the insulation.
