No, if removed it will be very load and sound like a diesel semi.

You "can" remove it. It will effect nothing but sound.

As it turns out was not muffler, was in fact the cat. So removed the guts of it an welded shut again. Now can hear turbo an has improved performance a noticeable amount. Was really struggling to keep above 80kmh on a long hill. Am hoping no damage will be done with the better flow.
