Running open downpipe.........Lost a bolt!

I had a leak in my exhaust. when I checked it I saw only one bolt is holding my exhaust from the downpipe. So I just took it off and now running open downpipe.

Can I run open downpipe without hurting anything even boosting 22psi+?

It's will deff increase your airflow which increases your load%. By how much, only logging will tell you.

Just buy a bolt. If you dont know what load is spend the whole $1 to get a bolt.

You'll be fine but unbearably loud, you probably will get a CEL from the rear O2 if it's not reading anything. The load increase should not be big enough to create a concern.
