Nah...but it'll kill everyone else.
The noise should be painful itself though.

The presence or lack of a muffler won't affect the emissions. Only the catalytic converter can affect the emissions. So, unless you've got an exhaust leak before the cat, then you've got nothing to worry about.

The cops can get you for sound violations though. I rolled around like this on my car for awhile and its not too bad. The only difference in the fumes is that they will now exit about two feet closer to you, so you might notice it if you're sitting still.

No effect on emissions. Once it passes through the cat converter, the exhaust doesn't get any more or less toxic.

But yep, it will be noisy as hell and annoy everyone.

i dont think it will kill you if you drive down the road, but if you decide to park inside ur garage, and close the doors, then just chill out in your car for a few hours while your car is running, im sure you could get a pretty bad headache...

well, like i said before, it's no louder than my n1 catback was...and i took it off because when i bought the car, there were holes drilled in it by the previous owner (not to mention it's all rusted out) i think ppl seeing me with a perforated muffler is worse than no muffler

...you might have a problem because the muffler tip helps direct the exhaust away from the car, especially while idling. If the exhaust now exits under the car, much of the exhaust can flow into the cabin from areas like the shifter area or even up into the windows and vent intakes. It can also pose a problem when the car is moving since the turbulent air will mix it all up and force it into the cabin. Remember that no matter how clean your car will test, it will still emit CO. You don't exactly want that building up in your bloodstream...

Cherry bombs on the mustang 5.0 huh? I betcha he's got a mullet too! Whoooo!

As for the integra, can't you just buy another muffler and weld it on so it's not so loud?
