Default do i really need a mufler on the street?

Im having a little trouble with the routing of my exhaust system on my bike. There isn't a lot of room for a muffler. I'm debating weather or not i should just straight pipe the thing. What are your thoughts?

I rode my turbo bike for about a month without a mufler and it sounded cool but it was way to loud. Now I have a cut down sbk on her and its much better. If you want a can email u pics of how I did mine.

To my knowledge I thought bikers weren't ticketed for a bike being loud no matter how loud it is. It's due to the loud exhaust giving other drivers awareness that the biker is there or something along those lines.
