The car probably won't run as good as your used to but the main problem your gonna have is the O2 sensor in the collector in gonna be exposed to oxygen tricking the PCM into thinking the engine is running lean. The PCM is gonna dump fuel like there is no tomorrow, so your gas milliage will be crap on the trip.
