Straight pipe exhaust for a '92

Can you do this??

How much back pressure is required?

My muffler has just about had the bun and I'd like to just stick another piece of 3 1/2" exhaust in it's place.

*I live in the sticks and noise and emissions laws don't have any foothold here. We can do what we want*

Thanks for your replies!!!

Cut it off...been running that way for a few years now with no problems. Like Dennis said, back-pressure is a non-issue with these engines. As an added bonus, you'll pick up a few pounds of boost, a few HP, faster spool, and maybe a little more MPG. Plus it just sounds cool.
