Driving Straight Pipe w/ a 4" MBRP Downpipe

I'm putting together my side dump and had to have a little fun... this is driving w/ just the downpipe. Think it would be a bad idea to drive at highway speeds w/ just the DP in the location it is? Look at the video, its towards the rear of the trans. I just don't want to catch anything on fire or damage anything from heat but I really want to take the 45 minute drive tomorrow @ 70MPH lol.

Also put this in the 2nd Gen Perf/Acc. forum but I thought the rest of you might enjoy it like I did too .

Enjoy!

Thanks guys, I didn't want to get on it too much because I do respect the people in my neighboorhood and the place is patrolled by cops like mad . But I'll be sure to get a sound clip of getting my foot into it... ALL the way into it either with the 5" piece on or just the 4" tomorrow!

Do you guys think it would be OK for me to drive it tomorrow with just the downpipe dumping where it does? (A 45 minute drive with 3/4s of it on the highway @ 70mph).

Rick (Txdiesel007) drove with just his DP for a little while and didn't have any problems when he put the twins on.

I drove for almost a month with just a down pipe while i waited for my 5" to come in, It never hurt anything , except to turn everything under the truck , and from the box back , BLACK. FWIW, it is REALLY hard to get week old soot off of a chrome bumper.
