Think that is illegal wherever you go.

If they don't pull you over you won't pass Inspections.

you will get a ticket for any exhaust that is louder then 87db, however it does not effect your inspection. Contrary to other peoples opion, the muffler is not an emmisions control device and is not subject to inspection, but you might want to put one on for performance and sound resons. Without a muffler the back pressure is non existant so you will gain very little or even lose performance.

saying po-leece makes you look and sound like an idiot, as does running straight exhaust on a V6. I'm pretty sure in NY any modification to your exhaust is illegal.
