No Tune Yet, but can I?

So yesterday I installed my LT headers, and cat back exhaust..

I have drivin the car a few times to see how it sounds, and performs, it's hard not to drive it it sounds awesome, and performs better even without a tune..

I would like to drive it to work tomorrow but I have read it's okay to drive it, as well as not to drive it without a tune..

I have no cel showing on the dash yet, and I expected to get one from what I have read as well..

So can I safely drive the car without a tune?

I will be making an appointment tomorrow with RMCR to get my tune hopefully in the next week or two..

Thanks!!

Drive it, sure.
Drive it like you stole it? Wait until your tuner looks at it.

Thanks guys, I did get on it 3-4 times for a few seconds just to see how it feels, car is a lot more fun to drive even without a tune, I just wanted to make sure I won't hurt it driving it to much before a tune..

You'll be running rich. Your ECU will try to make the fuel adjustments, but it can't keep up and you'll see a rich condition code before too long. No big deal to run it that way for a few weeks.

I've put over 500 miles on my car after the LT install. Still haven't tuned the car, got 2 CEL and just cleared them and went on my way. Getting tuned at the end of the month with a cam install.
