Based on the descriptions, you will lose any escalation. Fix it. You can get a very quiet system that makes crazy good power, even catless (see the Ace Laguna setup)

I wish I knew. I bought it used. I didn't even know it was cat-less until my dealership told me during a service.

I know you are not speeding down the block, but you can hear it when it is just idling as well. I would at least get it catted and go from there.

In -20c weather right now, I'm literally turning it on for 3 seconds and leaving right away very slowly. I'm trying my best to do the opposite of what that Honda Civic guy is doing.

I once met a dude who put a mustang style quiet exhaust button in his BRZ. He hits the button and these valves open up making a ton of noise but closed it is as quiet as stock.

I really wish I had a garage, unfortunately it's street parking. My cousin is a mechanic and works on Mustands religiously, think I should ask him about this?

I really don't know just how loud it is. I'm not mechanical and bought it like this. And that's what I would really like to know! I can't seem to find out definitively if it's illegal or not or what would happen.

I don't know this much about cars.
As I'm writing this and hearing this very loud train pass me, I should also mention that yea, there's a train that goes by here every morning around 2-5am a few times as well. It's not the quiestest area during the day for car traffic, or night with the train. I feel like he's blaming other sounds
that perhaps isn't even me and thinking "it must be that guy down the street with his loud car" all the time.

I don't know... how much are those? I didn't even know I bought it like this!
