No, it's not hurting anything. I would imagine it sounds like *** though.

its probably fine, well unless you want it quieter. The only thing you should have lost is a little back pressure which i don't think really matters. Or i should ask what do you mean by a 3" tube? like did you get a piece of pipe just welded/clamped in?
