help with 318 exhaust

yeah when i first put my headers on i was driving it to the muffler shop to get my exhaust run... and all i had was some straight pipes running back off my 318 and i got pulled over about 3 miles from my house and luckily i didn't get a ticket cause the cop followed me to the muffler shop when i told him thats where i was going.... but also we have very strict sound restrictions around here so i don't know how it is anywhere else but seriously running no mufflers is probably one of the worst things to do with your exhaust
