How in the hell do you guys drive around with no muffler?!?

So yea... I took my Ranger out for the first time on the street in probably three months (I know I know, but it's not like I'm neglecting her) to get it washed (pay & spray, I won't let anybody else touch it) and make sure it's still fine to drive on the street (taking it to a charity thing tomorrow). With this new rear suspension there really isn't a place for a muffler that I have found yet, so off-road I run it without for now and instead of putting the ugly thing I do have back on I ran it without tonight. Bloody Hell that thing is annoying! I really don't know how anybody can stand the resonance through the cab. I mean, I'm no old fart, I love loud trucks/car and loud music, but this was just too much! How in the world do you guys do it?

I love the way my 4.0 sounds without the muffler, granted it's not for everyone but i love the sound.
It's 6:30 am, when daylight breaks i will post a vid.
Well it's daylight out but i can't figure out how to get the sound to work on my camara, if i can get it to work i will post it up.

LOL.. now that I'm middle aged I don't do that anymore. But shoot... I used to do that all the time! To me it was just added mass, added cost, and a source of back pressure. LOL... I've even been pulled over by LEO's and they did'nt know I did'nt have a muffler. It's all in how you drive.
Around where I live every once in a while I hear a kid w/o a muffler and I kinda smirk a little remembering the good ole days.
btw, I do have mufflers on the Lightning. But with 3" pipes and Bassani's my wife has to hope the dishes in the kitchen don't fall apart when I pull in or out of the garage.

it could be the fluid too. When the muffler has a high side opening, the fluid encased in the muffler will evaporate off, casuing a loud annoying sound. This is a more smooth sound though. Bad bearings sound all gurgling-like.
