Define safe?

Safe around cops? No
Safe for the environment? No
Safe to drive around? Sure

Yea, you will be ok as long as there are no cops around, having the cut out wide open will not harm the car

It will be fine unless you go around revving at everyone. You'll eventually get pulled over.

I drive around 24-7 with mine open and I've never been pulled over. I've even driven next to cops and they don't even turn and look. At 1st I was worried but now I don't even think about it

His sig pic is pretty funny, least to me.

Anyways, back on topic, I think youll be fine as long as you dont run into any state troopers. A lot of state troopers dont care about exhaust, only some.
