Safe to drive with one muffler and one open pipe?
Since my unfortunate loss of one muffler, is it ok for me to drive, say 400km (200 miles or so) with one open pipe(just before where the other muffler would start) and one muffler? Will it damage anything?
I have noticed a far bit of powerloss without it, so I'm not sure if it's loosing backpressure or what.

Opinions are like........
I had two cars catch on fire due to faulty exhausts. Just make sure that the exhaust flow isn't heating anything flammable. Having the carpet and luggage in trunk go up in smoke sucks!
Why 200 miles?
Can't you just block it off and run through 1 muffler?
Go to the parts store and buy something to deflect the exhaust flow downwards.
Its your car and your risk.

Yeah, it;s damn loud. Civic with a 13-inch coffee can and no cats loud.
It's a trip down to a junkyard in Toronto (about 200km's away) to pick up pieces for my 7, and I'm waiting on my N1 to arrive in the mail. The pipe ends almost right underneath the gas tank, so that's probably my number one fear as I have no idea how hot it can get.
The other muffler is stock, so anything that will deflect the exhaust will make it safer?

From a noise standpoint it's surprisingly quiet. I've heard plenty of Civics, Neons, etc. et nausea that are louder with their fart cans.
