It would be loud as hell, and you'd lose quite a bit of backpressure. In the low rpm's you'd lose some torque, but you'd gain some on the top end.

What's the piping size on it? If it's very large, it would sound pretty bad when you're going slow. Very buzzy and sputtery. Imagine blowing through a straw....then imagine blowing through a straw that's 1 inch in diameter. All that will go through are sputtering puffs of air with no control/rhythm, and some spit. It's the same for your motor.

Yea like he said, you'll loose a lot of back pressure so you'll lose low end torque but will get some gains at top end.
