Reminds me too much of what ricers do.
If you really want a catless sound, just get cutouts.

Disadvantage: Your neighbor will bash your car with a baseball bat because he/she keeps waking up in the middle of the night when you come home.

Advantage: Your neighbor will get so sick of it that he/she will buy a god damm Random Cat and a Nismo exhaust and install it for you in the middle of the night.

Fumes in the car could kill you.
Loss of torque cause by reduced scavenging by the exhaust ending to close to the collector.
Loud as *beep*!
