So you will be running the Y-pipe? If the O2's are not near the exhaust outlet you should be alright. If they are very close to the exhaust outlet, they may not come up to temp and you could ruin them.

With a stock system your 02's should be plenty far away to keep from ruining them. The only drawback to driving it like that is the awful noise you are going to hear.
