I have a '93 lexus sc 400 and one of the exaust pipes broke off leaving my with only one exaust. It sounds the same. Is it safe to drive with only one muffler until I get it fixed?

It is ok to drive as it is. I believe it is the end pipe that has broken off since noise level did not change.

The portion after the silencer is for taking the gas out from under vehicle and does not affect anything with the engine but the gas coming out of it is hot so note if the gases are affecting anything nearby.
