Is it a bad idea to run in a new engine with just extractors on or should I wait to have the full exhaust fitted? And besides the noise!!

No problem to run in with just extractors. Make sure the exhaust does not blow on part of your bodywork and ruin paint or overheat any useful components.

I only have extractors on at the moment, and had some carb issues whilst tuning and cleaning etc, enough 'black stuff' came out the extractors and has permentally stained my garage floor :/.
