Default Driving Without Mufflers

I was thinking of taking my flowmasters off my car. Is there anything I should be concerned about, besides the cops? I will leave the H-Pipe on. My concern is the fuel tank.

OK. Nevermind. But how about if I hollow out the inside of both flowmasters. I have some in my backyard. How will that sound. Same?

I did this for a short period of time about a 2-weeks while I was waiting for the new mac pro dumps...heres what happened...First off, its way loud and what it did my car was real loud but wasnt really going no where. the exhaust had no tone it sounded like raspy air rushing through pipw no tone or rumble...i also lost alot of throttle respone and low end torqu, I lost all low end, but topend was freaking amazing it pulled hard at 2500rpm and up but below 2000rpm it flat sucked....

I will cut a squared hole on each muffler, the top side. Then , hollow it. Then weld the piece back.

it will most likely sound like ****.

if you dont have dumps get those. they make it louder but dont really change the pitch.

or you can go with larger 2.5in h pipe or take cats out
