Ford Tempo The Ford Tempo is an American-built two-door coupe and four-door sedan produced by the Ford Company from 1984 to 1994. It was the successor to the Ford Fairmont, and was replaced in 1994 by the Ford Contour. The Tempo was part of a rejuvenation by Ford to offer more environmentally friendly, fuel efficient, and more modern styled models to compete with the imports.

If it falls of it could bang around and tear up the gas tank, or anything else underneath your car. Also if backpressure isn't adequate you could burn or warp the exhaust valves.

The stock piping gives enough back pressure it will be a little louder, but not to bad. My 85 didnt have one when I bought it. If you have the V6 though, it will be way to loud to drive.
