Exhaust pipe left off
This is a dumb question but I ordered a 5" exhaust but they sent me the wrong kit (they sent 99-02 dodge) anyways my question is my new kit is coming in on Tuesday would it hurt anything if I left the exhaust off (well beyond the downpipe). I have enough time to install the kit but not remove it. Would it just be best for me to wait till next weekend?? One more question: They're sending out the kit Monday but for the same price they'll exchange the kit for a stainless 4". Should I get that instead of the 5" alumized?? By the way, I'm starting to not like you guys anymore (jk). I came to this forum a year ago with a CPS problem (which I didn't know what that was) and now reading, I got the Mod bug. Thanks

I would be concerned with carbon monoxide infiltration into the cab and possibly excessive heat under the cab.
Wait till next week.
Then, for your own good, never,never, come back here again. Run and don't look back. You'll thank me for it.

when i ordered my 3-4" DP from tymar i went ahead and cut the cat out and ran without any exhaust (except the stock DP) dumpig right under my floorboard. i was a little nervous about the fumes and gasses so i ran with my windows down anytime i drove, it was the summer so it was no big deal. didn't notice any extra heat... but the sound is loud! not like a loud tone type loud but a very resonating loud. you wont be able to talk on a cell phone or carry on a coversation without feeling like you are screaming
doesn't sound too bad either!

I am running with no exhaust on my truck right now. i dont think its that loud, i wish it was louder! but as far as it hurting anything,,,, i think that stock DP would be restrickive enough for some backpressure. so the only thing i would be worried about would be the fuems. so just drive with the windows cracked and you should be fine.

Ok finally finished it.. I love it.. My 5 in isn't too loud in the cab but with the windows down you can hear that turbo wistle. I got on it afterwards and with the superchip, tymar intake, FPR shim & 5 inch exhaust I thought a cop had his sirens on. Gonna call Beans tommorow!!
