Default Exhaust sound

If I cut the stock exhaust off my 02 WS6 M6 right in front of the muffler will it sound bad??? Its just a temporary move untill I get my other plans worked out.

P.S I have some friends telling me it will be fine and sound good and others telling me it will be the worst mistake of my life.

I think it would sound too loud for the street and everyday driving. That and you'd probably get tired of it real quick. I say wait for a catback.

ya cutouts are nice for the track, and the fact that you can close them. Cutting off the exhaust is pretty permanent. But then again i don't know if this is this person's dd or not.

just do a cut out you can get a cheap one with a manual cover for i think 40 bucks.
just put it under the passanger side read seat that way if you want you can always put on the cap and be quiet

under the rear pass. seat is where mine is. if you get one make sure you get wing nuts. the person that had the car before me lost them and i never found any that would fit so i have to get a 15mm socket and take them off. not bad but still a PITA with hot exhaust.

You'll be just fine. I cut off my stock exhaust from the y pipe and drove it around for a day to get my cat back installed. I thought it sounded bad *** too
