Really, I don't think anyone will be crawling under your car looking to see if you have a muffler. There will be cars out there that would be quite loud, probably louder then you and they have mufflers. LOL!

(b) Except as provided in Division 16.5 (commencing with Section 38000) with respect to off-highway motor vehicles subject to identification, every passenger vehicle operated off the highways shall at all times be equipped with an adequate muffler in constant operation and proper maintained so as to meet the requirements of Article 2.5 (commencing with Section 27200), and no muffler or exhaust system shall be equipped with a cutout, bypass, or similar device. (c) The provision of subdivision (b) shall not be applicable to passenger vehicles being operated off the highways in an organized racing or competitive event conducted under the auspices of a recognized sanctioning body or by permit issued by the local governmental authority having jurisdiction.

I don't see any problem. Look what it states in section c.

And since we pretty much got our rules from the NHRA rulebook, I don't see a problem with you running w/ no mufflers.
