If you like the sound by all means do it.

The cat should provide enough back pressure so you won't lose any
torque/midrange. Plus you take a few pounds off the back end.

BTW, I think you'll get burn exhaust valves from a plugged exhaust and
not a free flowing one.

                Went down to see a friend at his muffler shop yesterday.
He had a new 318 Dak
                sitting out front that he just put twice-pipes on. He
threw me the keys and
                said start it. It sounded really nice. Revved it up,
quiet too (relatively).
                He said now look underneath. No muffler.
                The cat took care of the sound.
                Now I wonder if, with headers, can we do this to our
trucks? Or is there
                going to be too little back-pressure? I dont need to
burn up my exhaust
                valves.
                Hmmmmm.......
