I did it for a couple of blocks......and it was out of sheer need, and i must say......i couldnt do it again. I was laughing the whole time (sounds WAY to much like a lawn tractor), but it was LOUDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.

I once drove a porsche Cayman S without an exhaust for 2 miles....when i revved the engine at a traffic light people were honking their horns and yelling.

The exhaust system is there for a reason. I'd be worried you'd get halfway through your journey and it would just be unbearable.
