Default Exhaust question

This may be a dumb question. But, I would appreciate some input. I want to pull of the factory mufflers/tips to be powder coated and was wondering if it would cause any issues to drive for a day with them off?

Will that throw any sensors because of back pressure? Cause issues under the car because of heat? Any input is appreciated! Thanks guys.

Yes, you'll trigger some codes with the valves unplugged. It won't really hurt anything though, just reset the codes once everything is plugged back in.

I'd suggest a ceramic coating rather than powdercoating due to the heat exposure. There is a wide variety of 1600F ceramic coating colors available; decent selection for 2000F coatings too.

Ok cool. Thank you for the reply! As for the ceramic, I will definitely look into that! I was going to use a high temp powder good for up to 1200f.

just making sure you know you still have to remove the lower rear bumper cause the tips are attached all the way up to the xpipe
