Default Stock Open Y-Pipe

I sold my magnaflow and I'm going to take it off so I can install on this dudes car, but my TD's are on back order. Can I run the stock y-pipe open, will it hang too low without some kind of support?

You can run it open...it literally sounds like **** though. I ran an open Y for like 5 days I think - no problems.

Thanks for the quick response, I know it will sound terrible but it will only be for a short time (maybe it will help me get used to how loud the dumped duals will be).

Yeah it will be fine. Its not like really loud or anything cause I still had the cats on....just annoying I suppose. The dual will be much louder (atleast in my case)

May want to take a piece of wire or a coat hanger or something to hold the y pipe up in the rear. Warning: car will sound like total **** though.

y pipe will be fine if you have a stocker, the mount for the exhaust is only 1-2 feet from the outlet so...
