broken exhaust

I have a 01 f250 with a 7.3, and my exhaust broke off yesterday just before the muffler, I was just wondering if it is safe to drive without my muffler and tail pipe untill this weekend when i'll have time to fix it, or can I cause more of a problem by driving it?

The only concern is exhaust getting in the cab, your truck is fine.

Time for an upgraded exhaust kit! You should be fine, just your truck will be a bit louder.

You now have what is commonly referred to as a straight pipe exhaust, just a lot shorter.

Just have the shop weld on a straight pipe to the end so you don't get exhaust into the cab. Unless you have "inspections" that require you to have a muffler, you won't have any issues.
