True, however, the tone might be a different story.

I did this one time and swore never again.

Sounded worse than a Celine Dion track.

Wow, that's bad.

It will change the tone. Could be good, could be bad.

My buddy just bought an 05 Chevy Z71. We went ridin in it the first night and I was impressed with the sound of the exhuast. I asked him what it had, said he didn't know. I looked under there and there was no muffler. If I had to drive it everyday I think it may be a tad loud, but it sounds great.

You're absolutely correct.

That's the flip side. I know of a few who have gone straight thru pipe and the overall sound, including tone, sounded a lot better.

I just didn't have that luck with a vehicle overseas. It sounded real sweet with the headers/exhaust I installed and I wanted it a tad louder so I went for the popular scrap the muffler tune. It did get louder, however, it totally ruined the tone.

My experience is just a word of caution.

Maybe somebody who's removed their muffler on an AM exhaust can chime in with some feedback.

Try finding a really small glass packed muffler, or high flow cats, long tube headers will help but are kinda pricey. Or if u wanna be cheap and go with what some people have done - straight pipe it! But it will definately sound like Sh*t and be LOUD.
