Default Cayenne 958 V6 Muffler Delete thoughts?

Hey guys, I have a 2014 Base Cayenne V6 (958) that has like every option except for the exhaust system. I really need more sound, but I can't really afford a whole new exhaust system. I was thinking of doing a muffler delete because it is the easiest and least expensive thing to do. In addition, it'll remove a lot of weight from the rear and increase some ground clearance (because the muffler hangs down a lot). What are your guys' thoughts on this. I don't really mind droning (plus the cayenne is pretty well insulated & I have the noise & thermally insulated glass too). I think it's a pretty good idea to bring out the V6 sound. Are there any downsides to doing a muffler delete? Thanks!!

Turbo cars can usally get away with that because the Turbos do a good job of reducing the noice. You would be better off moding your muffler for a low cost sound change.

The possible attention from your local boys in blue? The subsequent cost imposed by your friendly robed judge? Possible increasing costs for follow on infractions?

Somewhere here or on 6spd a guy from NV did that and posted video. Not a good sound in my opinion.
