Running Open Downpipe at VMP?

If you are turbocharged, is it ok to run at VMP with just a open downpipe?
Or do they require thru a muffler system?

what kinda car you got? you probably know all about it but running a open downpipe might give you some problems with boost creep or whatever, make sure you have the proper fuel/boost management for it

If you are talking to me, I have a 91 Sentra Se-r. Running a T3\T4 set up with a JWT ecu.
Thanks for the advice.
