no
will it run? sure. Should you drive it with a massive exhaust leak under the hood , heat up your engine bay and possibly fry something / expose yourself even more to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning? no.

I'm not familliar with this screamer pipe, but really you would just have an open dump right off your manifold. Running it to diagnose something I've done this before on z33's, but I really would not drive it for the reasons mentioned above.
