    It will not hurt anytihing but you really need to effect a repair for ehaust gas reasons.
    There is a special 'C' clamp available at an auto parts store that should enable you to draw that side togather.:)

    Suggestion (actually a 'recommendaton') - repair it, for the well-being of you and others who ride in it.
