Default Exhaust?

I think my wife is getting me d&d for my 11 fatboy for Xmas and I'm too broke for the tuner and a/c. I have ran bikes in the past with just the exhaust for a few months till I had the cash to finish the stage1.

Should I be ok for a few months without the other parts with this high flowing pipe? I'm sure decel popping will be present, I just don't want to do any damage.

Wink exhaust change

Spend a few bucks and get a set of XiED's from Nightrider.com
they work and you will not have any poping. I have a set on the LoBoy.
