    Yup. When my exhaust fell off, I replaced it with straight pipe because it was the cheapest option. I also don’t rev my engine through neighborhoods, so no body cares. I can’t tell much of a noise difference in or out. I think the turbocharger did most of the damping.

      In a lot of places a turbo is considered a muffler or sound damping device which allows for exhausts to be straight piped after the turbo legally.

        For a short time I worked in a factory that made school busses. They used big diesel engines and not a single one of them had a muffler. The SCR and the turbo made them plenty quiet.
