thejum57 Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 I've gotten the front exhaust pipe off my truck, but can't get the nuts and blots off of the front of the converter where the pipe meets it. Can I drive this about a 1/4 mile to a shop to have them taken off, or will this mess up the engine??
Jeep Driver Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 I wouldn't do it. Reattach the down pipe, take a sawzall and cut the Cat off, then work on the nuts/bolts. Exhaust does not go in one direction, pulses, your header is too short and could suck cold air into the valves.
Marine1Texas Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 I did it a few times. Had broken pipe right near trans cross under and it basically dumbed straight out. I would just squash pipe down flatter till I get it back to the shop. keep rpms low.
Tex06 Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 I did it for about 4 months. Great fun, really loud. My header wasn't connected. Only downside.... you suck up a lot of carbon monoxide while driving. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk
Tex06 Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 Oh, and I drove like I was qualifying. Full throttle everywhere, 4k shifts. After it stood up to that my jeep was a keeper. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk Are you saying your header wasn't connected to the engine, or to the muffler? Did you and Noriyori read the original post? His exhaust pipe is disconnected from the manifold. He should NOT drive it that way.
Tex06 Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Header bolted to engine (otherwise intake would fall off). Nothing bolted to header. Exhaust dumped roughly at the firewall under the gas pedal. 4 months. Yes it's loud. Yes you have to drive with the windows open or you'll probably suffocate. No, it won't hurt the engine for a short while. Or a longer than short while.
omega_rugal Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 you can you gonna go deaf in no time, either that or get CO poisoning...
cruiser54 Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Just drive it. I've driven mine 8 miles to the muffler shop. Doesn't hurt the Jeep at all.
