22RE exhaust gasket blew out a 1" chunk - safe to drive?

Was driving home tonight, I heard a loud sound and then... tick tick tick... No loss in power or anything, but it sounded like an exhaust leak.

Turns out the bottom bolt closest to the firewall fell out and the exhaust gasket blew out towards the bottom about a 1/2" chunk.

Should I be worried about cold air getting in there and warping the valves?

Only if you continue to drive on it.

Get it fixed ASAP.
