Default !Muffler?

Ok so the end of my exhaust is dumped and it's setup like this: Stock catted y flowing into the I pipe and then into a straight muffler and then immediately dumped. It's dumped about 3ft. before the axle. Was wondering if I take that muffler off and replace it with a piece of piping will I get any gains out of it? So it would basically be a dumped I pipe.....and will doing this hurt my car at all?

Probably get some small gains. I ran my car for about 2 months with nothing past the stock y-pipe and didn't hurt anything other then it turned the bottom of my car black.

you'll feel a little gain, may people run cut-outs so they can cap it and run it through the muffler if they want, i'd do that, but it wont hurt anything if you chop off the muffler.

I kinda did something similar and just cut my stock muffler out and made a y to get the 2 tips back out. Mine sounded like ****, it was loud, but a shitty loud, popped and carried on when you revved it up or let off the throttle in gear going down the road. Yours might not be that bad, but I just did'nt like the way it sounded with no muffler at all.
