No feedback after superday - reach out to firm or headhunter?

Curious what protocol is. Interviewing for an off cycle associate role at an UMM and had a virtual super day a few weeks ago. I haven’t heard anything back but the recruiter says to just sit tight. I feel like I clicked really well with some of the people at the firm and would be comfortable reaching out to ask them about status, but is it a faux pas to circumvent the recruiter in this case?
