losing muffler!

well my dual setup out the side of the bed after the tires got put on hold due to time,soooo---for now i'm just gonna lose the single chamber and replace with a piece of 3" pipe so i'll still have a mandrel bent 3" system, it'll just be a lil' louder--only question is, will i lose too much back pressure? p.s. i'm not touching the cats so i shouldn't,right?

I don't think you'll lose any pressure since you aren't touching the cats. Post up some videos of it if you go throw with it!

you'll lose just a little bit of back pressure because the gases will be flowing faster/free, but it shouldnt affect much with all the cats in place.

Sweet. You will be alright, only lose a minor little bit. Your idle might be a hair quieter, but your throttle will be maybe 15% louder with that straight pipe tone.
