Running no cat-back??? About a week or two ago my exhaust connector came loose from my y-pipe to my cat back, and i took the complete cat-back off. How hurtful is it running without a exhaust?? It ends after the y-pipe. Only drive the car about 1-2 times on the weekend, sometimes a little more.

You're not hurting anything at all. You just have an exhaust with no muffler to restrict it..

There would be a slight chance of that if you were running open headers, but not from just removing your catback.

thanks everyone, people were getting me nervous as **** telling me different things. Just going to run it like this till i get the exhaust back on in a week or so. Even though i will miss how loud this bitch is now, it sounds like a drag car and u can so hear the cam now.
