well as you know i ust to have my exhaust out the back of my truck and i run straight pipes. well i jack knifed my truck Saturday and my trailer bent my exhaust to hell and now i only have about 5 feet of pipe with punched cats and no muffler just pipe. is this going to hurt my motor i drove it to college over 100 miles and im going to drive it home Friday and around a little bit till i get a chance to get it back on which will be around 200 miles

thats enough pipe, it is essential that you have enough pipe so when valve overlap occurs, you are not sucking cold air past the exhaust valve
