No muffler
Took the muffler off while changing the brakes and it sounds mighty nice.
I live in FL so this is probably illegal, but I wanna know what I should do from here. I Can't afford a new catback system, but I can buy muffler eliminators.
Will it affect the engine without it on for a week or so? Gotta impress the guys and especially the girls at school

He said he took the muffler off, not the exhaust pipe.
As far as being illegal. The only law that this would break, assuming you did not disturb the cats, is excessive noise regulations.
But, if it gets you laid, who cares.

Well yes, I did take off the whole structure right from the cat. where the "Y" occurs, we just unbolted the whole thing. That would mean the end of the pipe is in the middle of under the car.
So it needs to go back on? I was worried about excessive heat.

Aside from all the great previous suggestions, you’re in FL where it is hot now. You got all that heat being released right under you which might make it hoter in the car.
And don’t forget, this is a FIBERGLASS car, can't be good for it aside from all the black exhaust that might accumulate on the bottom of the car.

On my bracket car, my headers run through a ypipe with a turndown at the end. Infineon raceway has a 115 db limit for evening races and it is below that threshold. Sounds mean without being deafening.

I'm going to sell my black beauty soon. It simply won't be practical to have while I'm at UF, I plan on driving 3 or so hours twice a month and that's something this car won't do well.
So I'll sell this, even though I wish I could keep it so much. But the 157k miles says otherwise...
