Yes. Your truck will probably fall apart now. The main bearings rely on sensors past the Cat Converter to keep them within tolerance. Also, its hard on a vehicle to not have the muffler bearings spinning. You prevented them from doing so by unbolting the muffler. Good luck!

i had to drive to a hardware store like this once. it was so loud i couldnt hear my radio turned all the way up. luckily it was only a 2 mile drive, and it was even more gutless.

I had to run an LCE Header and nothing else for a couple weeks because they sent me the wrong cat-back kit and I had cut up my old exhaust already. Sounded like a V8
