Hey, I wanted to find out if running my engine without tail pipes on the muffler safe? I know it will be louder than with tailpipes but I wanted to make sure it wasn't going to cause it to burn a valve or something else like this?

What is the hot exhaust gas going to be blowing against when you do this? Don't want to burn something up. You shouldn't have any worry with the valves though as the tail pipes are far down the system.

You're good. I've run plenty of times without tailpipes, no problem except a louder exhaust.
