It throws a hard Drivetrain malfunction code, and you would think you can limp it, but no you can't limp it home (especially if your 10+ miles out). I have experience trying, didn't make it out of the parking lot I coasted into.
I ended up buying the Evolution Racewerks charge pipe. Higher price but I dont mind paying for the quality and high regards they receive. To answer why I cant wait for the VRSF, just like atek mentioned the pipe can go any moment, especially around my mileage. And Id rather not wait 2+ weeks for something I just paid over $200 for, originally expecting it within a week!
