downsides to just have a straight flow exaust

I kinda just wana have 2 pipes running straight out of the side

currently I am just running a X pipe out the back with 2 hollowed out mufflers

I would have to wire the ports but whats another reason not to do it?

If you don't mind going deaf then it's gonna be fine. I had a RB dual header to dual straight pipes to a single Apexi N1 muffler and it was intolerable for me. People could hear me coming like a mile away. If you don't get a header it might not be as bad, and going with duals should make it quieter as well. You can always go back to stock too.
