Yes, plus you wouldn't want the exhaust gases exiting the system under the car. The gases could enter the passenger compartment.

Just take the headers off the heads, remove everything back, cut the tips off and duct tape them onto the bumper. No one will ever guess you have no exhaust system.

Any exhaust shop can do that for you cheap. The sound will probably be a little raspy but it will be loud if that's what you are wanting.
