well, since its a TD, you dont need a muffler (may want to check your local laws first). but, other mods to think about:
exhaust (stacks FTW, but pipes are good too)
cold air intake (K&N) if you dont want an aftermarket, then you can get a drop in K&N
injectors
and performance tuner (sueprchips, bully dog, smarty)

to be honest, i dont really know. i would only imagine it owuld though, consider the cat i sort of like a muffler, so i dont see how it wouldnt?

and those mods are good for at least 100+ horsepwoer, and should see an increase in mpg, all depending on how you drive...

im pretty sure you could run without one for a bit, but an intake would be a good idea. b/c more gas = hotter egt's..
