well without the manifold and an exhaust, it will feel like it has no torque.

like once the exhaust came unbolted on my smallport 4age at the extractors, so it was running only extractors.... it felt like shit till i could limp it to a place to buy a fuckin bolt and fix it.

well the thing is I am not going to buy anything for this car as I am wrecking it hence the extractors being sold off it.
I just need need to move it up my steep driveway and would like to know any risks involved :)

engine will be fine and wont get damaged.
the only risk is your far falling down the driveway due to lack of being able to go foward LOL.
but seriously tho it should be ok.

Don't drive too far as the fumes from the exhaust will become overwelming... But no harm will come to the motor

i drove 10mins to an exhaust shop with just extractors once and a 4k, neighbours dont like me normally but they hated that day. the popping was awsome but, my dad was following me and he said there was flames shooting from under the car, so in the engine bay might be a bad idea. just tow it with a rope and another car
