I wouldnt say so sorry. I ran my s10 with open headers an burned the valves, so pretty much you are running a open header with not much piping also so I would think you have a chance of burning valves also. Could be wrong though. Plus that thing will be loud af lol lol. If you where running a turbo you could do a shorty down pipe which wouldn't hurt the valves.

For my truck a day or two because I drove it like I stoled it lol lol. But honestly if you drove it right, no revving, no speeding an dropping gears, etc but it will still shoot flames out the bottom. I would just be very very cautious.
