Default No down pipe

So I got into a lil wreck awhile back and I"ve had a serious exhaust leak.
I took my DP off to inspect it and it seems fine. I got curious and wanted to drive with it completely off so I took for a cruise on the highway.

I've had it off for 1.5 days and was wondering if there are any problems that can occur.
I dont plan on driving like this past tomorrow just wanted some reassurance.

CELS from the O2 sensor but more importantly you could be introducing poisonous exhaust gases into the cabin.

I did get the CEL but I have Vag-com, funny thing is that I didn't think about the gases until I was stuck in traffic yesterday.
I was just cruising then hit traffic and noticed fumes coming through the vent, so I made sure to keep moving on side streets.

I was thinking about that too but I got under the car and didnt notice any extra dark spots on the firewall.
As far as loud HELL YEAH it is!
I'm mainly a freeway driver so when your at like 70 and crusing its not so bad but 1-2 gear are way too loud.
I will admit though that after riding around like that I'm sold on a 3in. exhaust with staright pipe and prolly a magnaflow muffler.
