I pulled my downpipe off just past the turbo once for diagnostic 
purposes.  It was a little loud, but very tolerable.  I was tempted to 
not stick it back on, but I thought I ought to at least get the fumes 
past the cab.  You might indeed have nothing inside the muffler.  I 
guess as long as you can tolerate the sound.....
