I have a 1992 Jimmy 4.3 CPI 4x4. The oxygen sensor has made my fuel mixture rich and my exhaust pipe after the Y pipe has rotted off. I dragged the pipe out from underneath the vehicle, due to scrapping. It sounds pretty loud when, I deliver machinery parts from one store to another. I don't have money to get a new exhaust since this has happened today. Can I drive this vehicle, with a rich fuel mixture coming out of the exhaust, for a week? Or am I at great risk of causing a fire hazard?

As long as the local police don't ticket you, it's not likely to damage the car, but you should get it fixed soon, as eventually the rich mixture will cause excessive wear in the engine. As for fire hazard; I doubt it.

No, just disturbing the peace.
