Default exhaust dump. Heat problems?

With my exhaust dumping right off the turbo can i still drive it over an hour on the highway? Midas will do the work for me once i get it back. I am worried because i dont have no guages hooked up to get reading. But the car runs and drives fine? Shold i drive it or no? I could tow it but it would be alot of work. I am getting oil, coolant to the turbo. What do you guys think?

as long as its not too far awayyou sould be fine depending on what the exhaust is aiming at.

just stop and check if you start to smell smoke

we use pvc at the shop for our pneumatic tools (impact tools) and it holds 100 psi. should be fine for a mere 6psi. just be concious of heat cause it is still plastic
