There is a good reason why tailpipes terminate past the rear bumper. Exhaust fumes can be sucked into the car by the partial vacuum created by the vehicle passing through the airstream. No car is completely sealed from the outside and that is why the trunk on a car has a double sealed rubber weatherstrip."

Considering many here run without test pipes, and I ran an open header/no cat dump from GA to NOVA and survived, I'm sure they will be OK. Doesn't change my opinions of the mod itself, I'm just saying that "health risk" isn't high on my list of reasons why it is a bad mod.
