Default Safe to Drive w/o Exhaust Tips?

As title mentions, I’m sending my tips off to be powder coated, shop doesn’t have any core exchanges, have to be shipped. Is it safe to drive my C4S without exhaust tips? It’s my daily, if not I’ll need to scavenge for some tips to send in.

Thoughts?

Cosmetic only, so it will just look ugly!

Some cars will melt the rear bumper if the tips are too close. So make sure the exit isn’t near any plastic.

I ran my 997 for a few days with no exhaust tips and didn't run into any issues. But as Don mentioned, it looked ugly.

I won’t disagree that it will look ugly but it’s only for a few days. Thanks all!

Shoot us some pics once the tips come back from powder coating.
I'd like to see the finished product.
