I just bought a 2.0 '74 with D-Jet (now I have two!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) ). The PO had taken the exhaust and HEs off the car. I want to drive the car on my driveway (1/4 long), get it good and warmed up and check the motor (leak down, compression). Can I run without HEs? Will it damage anything? If not, can I use the stub pipes that the '75/76 cars used? I have a set of these.

Without stub pipes I'd guess you will damage the exhaust ports.
With stub pipes it would still be extremely noisy, and probably not run correctly (no back pressure etc). I would not do it myself. |

Don't forget even with the stubs on there, they are probably too short and will allow too much cold air to rush back in after you shut the engine off which can damage valves and or seats by cooling them off so fast.
