Unbolting me exhaust?

Hey i was wondering if it would be worth my time unbolting my exhaust from the catback? would i gain anything besides a different sound?

youll get a little more sound than anything. No real horsepower gain.

It would sound too loud and burn more gas. The only gain would be an exhaust ticket.
