ok i have a 88tc motor in my new coupe.... i swapped in a beefed up c-4 , when i did the swap i had to cut the catalytic converter off......... i am gonna replace the downpipe and all with 3" single exit i think...


anyway my question is.....is it safe to drive it about 10 miles to my work to put on all the exhaust or ? the downpipe goes down to the bottom of the exhaust ? ....... i just wanna make sure i dont hurt the turbo..


sorry if anyone thinks this is a silly question !
