What's the harm of removing the catalytic converter and muffler and just running straight pipes?

Why dont cha want a muffler?

No damage should occur. Have you heard rumors?

"THEY" SAY IT'S ILLEGAL TO NOT RUN A CAT ON A RIG THAT ORIGINALLY CAME W/ ONE

ONE OF THEM "GREEN THINGS"

IF YOU AREN'T CHECKED IN YOUR AREA---THINK YOU MIGHT RUN ACROSS "THEM". IF YOU EVER DO, YOU'LL MOST LIKELY BE TOLD TO RE-INSTALL IT, OR FACE A FINE.

AS FAR AS THE MUFFLER---I MYSELF LIKE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR MY BUDDY, MR. RADIO, OR EVEN MY PASSENGERS

BUT EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, EACH TOWN/ CITY/ DISTRICT AROUND HERE HAS THEIR OWN ACCEPTABLE NOISE LEVELS---IT VARIES DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE AT

NOT TOO LONG AGO AROUND HERE YOUR WERE SUBJECTED TO OVERWHELMING JUNGLE RACKET NO MATTER WHETHER YOU SAT IN TRAFFIC OR IN A PARKING LOT, YOU KNOW WHERE TRUNK LIDS AND MIRRORS VIBRATED AND THE OCCUPANTS INSIDE BLED FROM THEIR ORIFICES!

FINALLY SOMEONE TOOK INITIATIVE AND VERIFIED THEY HAD A PAIR

NOW IF YOUR RACKET CAN BE HEARD EXCESSIVELY AT MORE THAN 30 FEET AWAY---YOU PAY THE CITY OR COUNTY $1100----YES, YOU GOT A WARNING, IT WAS IN THE NEWSPAPER WHEN IT WAS, ENACTED

OTHER THAN AN OCCASIONAL OFFENDER---THAT CRAP STOPPED REALLY FAST---AND ALMOST INSTANTLY IT STOPPED

BUT TO SCIENTIFICALLY ANSWER YOU---THE ENGINE WILL RUN WITHOUT EXHAUST

I TRY TO MAKE THINGS INTERESTING AND "REAL WORLD"--NOT JUST GIVE A TEXTBOOK ANSWER

THE ONE BELOW HAS NO CAT, OR SEAT BELTS.100% LEGAL.1946 NOT OEM.I LIKE HEARING ABOUT A "LICENSE CHECK". JUST SO I CAN GO THRU IT (LIKE THE ONE LAST NIGHT, EVEN IF IT WAS COLD!), EVEN BETTER, IF YOU HAVE A IGNORANT PASSENGER WITH YOU!
