Don't take off the middle part because , I did that to one of mines and didn't work anymore.
Go figure! If you really want to make a pipe bomb it's really up to you but it's easier to throw them inside your spare tire.

It should work fine without the valve cores. The only thing the core does is when the sensors are installed on your rims, it keeps the air in the tire. This wouldn't affect how the sensor works when you throw them in a pipe bomb.

You gotta make sure to not put air in the pipe bomb right away, wait atleast 48hours for the glue to completely lock it. I didnt have patience and my pipe bomb was leaking from every angle the next morning. Cut it open and threw them suckers in my spare, problem solved.
