H-pipe
Hey guys, just curious if driving without mufflers, and having the exhaust exit through the stock H-Pipe is hazardous to health because of the carbon monoxide? I’m waiting for a part of my borla straight pipes to come in before I can mount them

It's just as bad as idling in your garage with your stock exhaust. There's nothing in between your H-pipe and catback that makes carbon monoxide levels any lower. However, the high heat from your exhaust/H-pipe will be going in all the wrong places... for example, you rear composite leaf spring.As a result, its not a good idea to drive with just the H-pipe. Hazardous to your health? Not really. To your car? Probably.
