I ran with no muffler for a bit, the only thing I noted was my gas mileage went down a bit.

Only thing u'll hurt is yours, and others, ear drums. All things being equal, mpg should increase slightly.....the right foot is the biggest factor so all things being equal is probably out the door. LOL

Might need to at least run a piece of pipe after the cat to direct exhaust fumes from the underside.

Nope won't hurt the motor but depending on local law you could get pulled over for either noise or exhaust not exiting the rear or side properly. I wouldn't leave it idling for very long with the windows closed lol
