Exhaust fumes in the car? Making the cv joints too hot?

My 4kq hasn’t been my daily driver for several months, and the plan has been 
to sell it when I get around to it. However, I just took the daily driver 
into the shop on Friday, and it could be there for a couple of days, 
depending how fast they can get the parts. And then …

The 4kq developed an exhaust leak yesterday, and I took it to an exhaust 
shop. Turns out the exhaust is pretty well rusted out, and the hangers are 
shot. The exhaust pipe has been riding on top of the halfshaft, which has 
worn a hole in it. They threw out a price to replace the exhaust. Given my 
plans for the car, I’m leaning against doing that. Even if I did want to 
replace the exhaust, there’d be the issue of waiting for the parts to come 
in.

The question is, is anything really ugly likely to happen? I can tolerate 
the noise for a few days. As I said when I threw out the question of a new 
daily driver a few months ago, I live 25 miles from my job. This isn’t doing 
anything for the car’s resale value, but I wasn’t expecting to make a 
killing on it anyway. Thanks.
