Question Cut-Off Exhaust

I have a buddy of mine who has a 09 Dodge Ram and he just cut the exhaust in front of the muffler, it doesnt sound bad... i was wonder what kind of problems i might run into if any if i did the same to my 08 1500 with a stock 5.3?

I wanted to modify mine but a guy in a club I'm part of at a muffler shop said not to touch anything cuz it's all designed for correct backpressure. Sucks but I like a dash with no lights.

there's mixed things about taking muffler off. i took one off my truck and i noticed better fuel economy but the downfall is that i like hearing it now so i'm on the throttle more and fuel economy drops down. i average around 16 in the city when i'm beating on it and it jumps to 20 when i drive it normally on a tank of fuel. luckily gas prices are dropping by me
