Default tear on downpipe...safe to drive?

pretty much the title saysit all....there's a tear on the downpipe about 2 inches but short on funds so u guys think its ok to drive on it until able to replace a new one? ALso will it harm the turbo at all if i boost a little bit? THanks

It should be fine, I had a crack in mine from my shitty welding and it just sounded like ****. Just get it welded instead of buying a new one.
