Default cut off muffler?

I want somthing loud but dont got the money for headers right now. I went to a local place and asked what has a decent tone but is still loud and they gave me a cherry bomb muffler. Its decently loud but not that loud. On my old trans am i just cut off the muffler and it sounded great just like i had a catback but not toned... I was wondering if any of u guys have just cut urs off stock motor stock cam whats it sound like if so?

I did when my truck was still stock. I prefered it over the flow master and even the bullet I had. I'd do it and not look back untill u do headers. Then its Magnaflow all the way
