I'm assuming you lost the bottom end of your stock muffler. If so, make a new end for your muffler using the end of a beer/soda can with the drinking hole in it. Attach it with a hose clamp.
 
Did the lost part look like this....

If so, pm me your addy and I'll send it to ya.

Short answer: No it won't hurt the engine.
It WILL be annoying, so I'd suggest doing what wheelbender said or something similar.
Or even better, PM xseler!

Thanks much guys
I had this problem once before on my first build 6 years ago
I rode it for a good while but i was a noob then and didn't consider any consequences back them

Once again much appreciated
 
i've had a few baffles fall off and never to be found, so I made my own baffle with some sheet metal, if you cut about a 4 inch circle out and draw a circle in the center the same size as the pipe and cut slits from the outside to the inside circle and make tabs, you can fold the tabs up and clamp it onto the pipe, I went a step further and fashioned a small tube that came out of the hole. I actually got more power out of the homemade baffle than the stock one due to the hole being bigger.
I added some high temp foil tape around the outside to seal it a little before I clamped it on.
