Default Running with out mufflers

I've sent my mufflers out to Fister and i need to put Stabil in the 911. Is there a problem with running it for a few minutes to get the Stabil through the fuel lines, with no mufflers? There must be a computer sensor somewwhere that Im screwing up!

Thanks
Larry

haha... running without them is almost exactly like running by-pass pipes.... people do it all day long.

watch heat if you run too long can be an issue for the painter bumper

My opinion is thats its fine for a quick bit.... But too long and you will be sucking the hot exhaust in the motor which isnt the best thing.
