back pressure

Ok so I have a 95 f150 wit 4.9 (my sig truck) I decided to cut off my muffler the other day to see how it sounded , I like how she sounds but the question is, did doing that kill my back pressure? both my dad and neighbor said I'm bound to drop a valve now that I don't have my muffler or the back pressure it provided, I figured that the cat would still give it sufficient back pressure, maybe I'm wrong? let me know yall, plz & thank you!

The 'needs back pressure' myth was debunked way back in the last century by the likes of David Vizard and others.
