Default Muffler question!?!

So I just took my muffler off my 2008 Mustang and I was wondering if that would give me worse gas mileage or do anything bad at all??

It sounds good :]

Yeah other than pissing off the neighbors you're not going to see any real damage. I don't even think an mpg drop would be substantial if it's even there

Do you have state inspections? I know here in VA, your car would not pass without mufflers.
You know there is a good loud and a nasty loud. I imagine your stang without it's exhaust sounds nasty loud. Why not get a dual conversion kit and have it sound good loud?
