Default classic jdm decat without remap for 2 months?

Hi,

scoobyparts are out of stock of the 3" to 2.5" adapter, so i was thinking of decatting to my new 3" system instead.

However i cant afford a remap as ill need a new ecu for another month or so.

Rekon it will be alright for a couple of track days and ise over this time with plenty of octane booster?

How dangerous is this to run? Im sure a couple of months isnt going to kill it, is it?

the only thing you might experience is occassional overboosting after cat is removed - i think.
of course it's always good to use the fuel car was mapped for - the best available
