Is there any problem going 5-20 miles without the y-pipe installed?
If its not raining, no dusty and such.
How about driving around with just the y-pipe without the pipe and exhaust?

Bring your earplugs! I ran at the track after a mishap with my y-pipe and it was LOUD LOUD LOUD!

Oh yeah, it will be really loud. Just turn the radio up and pray that you don't get pulled over.  I even got on the highway (4 miles) to get to an exahsut place. Its really loud at 80mph!

you have to be careful of exhuast leaking into the car as well. at speed this isn't an issue, but at lights and idle the gasses can build up under the car and leak into the passenger compartment... no good!  this is why most states have laws where the exhaust has to exit outside the perimeter of the car... but it should be okay for a few miles, leave the windows open to get fresh air...

Huh... ever hear a valve pop?
When your exhaust valves operate they get RED hot... when nice cold ambient crawls up that short pipe and hits that red hot valve...
POP.
Thats half the reason we have long tail pipes... the other half is fumes.

Stock manifolds with pre-cats will adequately allow the exhaust gas to flow away and help to keep cool air from entering.

if you still have the pipes from the manifolds down past the cats you are fine, there should be no worry about cold air backflowing up the the exhaust valves.
