It'll be loud as hell. (I've tried it...) Why do you need to drive without an exhaust anyways?

With out headers? Or Cat Back?

Without Catback you will be ok just loud.

Without header you might as well pick up a head while you are there.

please elaborate.
you are saying that if one drives without an exhaust manifold, it will cause damage to the cylinder head?

It's going to be loud as hell and attract attention from the police. You'll get a well-deserved illegal exhaust ticket for making that much noise. If you don't have a cat in California when they stop you, the fun will really begin.
