I used some of the cheepo 3x18" slipfit extensions from AutoZone with some cheap clamps (just dont tighten them too tight that you crimp the collector). Ran my truck all weekend like that till I could take it to the exhaust shop on monday. Although I must say, I ran it without the extension at first and it ran horrible. It would load up so bad it would kill the motor when I came to a stop. So definately do one or the other(unplug O2 or use extensions) to drive it around till you get the exhaust on.

 

Would it run better if I got the extensions or if I unplugged the o2's?

 

when you stop, stuff a rag in the end of each collector...this should help keep your exhaust valves happy and its cheap insurance even if you can get away without it...

 

How much were the extensions?

 

Just wanted to let everyone know that I made the trip with absolutely no issues. I even passed THREE state troopers! over 80 miles with open headers without extensions. I unplugged the o2 sensors like Flyer said and it ran completely normal except for the LOUUD roar. Thanks for the advice man!! My ears are still ringing. I'll try to have pictures up later today. I'm getting my exhaust welded back up at 9:00am.
