Depends on the muffler/resonator you use. If you can stomach the low speed/rpm noise of unmuffled exhaust then go for it. I ran a turndown off the y-pipe on my car for a few months before sticking a dynomax muffler on it.

I did LT's, 3" x pipe without cats with 4x12 cherrybombs and there's a lot of noise in the lower rpm's. Once I hit about 40, the noise lessens. It's all about what you prefer.
