Default running with no backbox ( not driving)

right this may sound weird, ive just popped to my mates and funny f***ers like they are decided to unbolt my backbox, i only notice as i walked to car and it was angled, the want me to start it to see how much louder is it "/ is it going to cause any problem with running? surely its no different to putting a more fre flowing system on there?

just wanna be sure before i run the car

Thanks

We ran a corsa sri with just the manifold at college to show the difference the exhaust system has on silencing it.

Was rediculously loud.
