Drive Part

Can you safely drive your car without the "pipe" part of the tailpipe?
Midway through my drive home yesterday my tailpipe fell off (nothing more than the foot-long or so pipe part). Other than making my car (95 Honda Civic) louder, there was no noticeable difference in how it operated. Do I need to get this looked at?
I am guessing that you are speaking of the short exhaust pipe at the back end of the muffler.
It will not negatively affect the operation of your engine. If the exhaust noise is louder, the back pressure is probably reduced which could (very slightly) increase your engine's overall performance. Racing cars of most types have no mufflers because they increase back pressure. Drag Racing cars have very shor exhaust pipes.
Some areas have noise limits allowable by cars, if yours doesn't,don't worry about it. Have it repaired when you can afford it. As another person mentioned, your muffler may deteriorate faster because water can get into easier.
