You can easily get away with an ory pipe. If you are asking for trouble and revving and burning rubber, you can bet your *** the cop will fine you a ticket for your exhaust as well. A good alternative to the ory pipe, would be a cutout. But, technically, it's also, "illegal", in your words...

i say go for it! i live in cali were everything is illegal and ive only been pulled over for exterior crap like window tint, missing rear license plate light, missing front license plate, etc.. and my car is pretty loud. I guess they think my car is suspicious cus i always get verbal warnings. Just dont go revving it at everyone and youll be fine

A lot of just how loud the car will truly be depends on what muffler you have, but regardless it's not going to be very quiet. Anything with LT's and an O/R Y is going to make some noise.
