Default I got the wrong Y-pipe for my 2004 DII

I was able to cut my previous one off because the cross beam heads were shot, but when i tried to put the new Ypipe in, it didn't fit. i've got a new one coming in 3-5 days. Will i do any damage if i drive to work tomorrow? Besides destroying the ozone.

If you are running straight out of the headers with no exhaust pipes do not drive it. Besides being very loud when shut off it could cool down too quickly and damage valves and possibly other items. JMO D*

I've run mine like that before. The manifolds alone are just too short, but if you've got some extra pipe you should be alright temporarily. How much pipe would you be able to put back?

Hell, even if they're not good just take a rod and hammer and punch out some of t he center. That will definitely give you enough length and you should be fine for 2-3 days.
