Default Any issue running Porsche without muffler?

I removed the muffler the PO installed on my '85 Targa. I tried to install an OEM muffler I bought used from a fellow PCA member only to realize I don't have the OEM muffler bracket. Are there any issues if I run my Porsche without the muffler until I get a muffler bracket?

It will run....loudly and with a loss of torque in the mid range but it will run.

Only that the neighbors might put a burning bag full of dog dirt on your front porch... (or maybe on the front of your Porsche).

Thanks everyone! It turns out my inspection was due to expire yesterday so I slapped my old exhaust back on and she passed with flying colors! I'll keep it on until I get the bracket.
