Default Muffler Elims, with no cats?

Thinking of doing this. I know it will be pretty darn loud. Im just wondering if anyone else has done this? what did you think? Ive already got cat elims. I like LOUD just not getting pulled over every 5 seconds loud.

I had 'em for about 3 months, no cats either. Definitely loud. I'm sure the neighbors hated me every time I drove through the neighborhood after 10.

Strangely enough, this was the only combination I've tried that didn't have any resonance in the 1700-2100 rpm range.

But I got tired of the volume, and the fact that everything in the car rattled from the exhaust note.

So the volume at partial throttle/ idle was too much? Id imagine WOT would be quite nice.

My '89 had too much resonance some I put the main cat back on and it has to much. Maybe I'm just getting older.
