Would taking off my muffler and just having exhaust dump from the cat be ok or is there not going to be enough back pressure and could it hurt the engine and affect mph? I have 2000 cherokee sport

It won't hurt your performance much, if any. But it is loud as heck! I did it with mine for exactly three days, the noise was unbearable. It didn't sound bad per say, just super duper loud, lol. Just get yourself a decent aftermarket muffler and run that for a better sound than the factory junk...

run just a cherry bomb glass pack. not the chamber muffler just the glass pack. it will be a little quieter but it will sound a lot nicer.
