Exhaust gases are not good for you. In fact they are very deadly. The local law enforcement folks may take exception to the noise level also. If you are willing to risk that encounter you should add muffler eleminator pipes to preclude a trip to a hospital.

If you are too near the exhaust pipes while the car is running, it does not take long to kill you, far less than you might think.

No, it's a rule that cheese-heads MUST look gay at all times!
Put the other muffler back on...along with a set of snow tires...and drive that sucker all winter!!
