What is your "rear delete"?
To us the "rear delete" is deleting the rear set of cats.
The MM has 2 sets of cats.

Well, no mufflers, no resonators, an X pipe with only a single cat; call me crazy, but I'm gonna guess it'll be LOUD.

I have AT2525's and rear cat delete and I still have the resonators and when I go WOT it is def throaty but also noise I can't really describe..almost like a baseball card in a kid's bike spokes x1000. It sounds like it could be something with the baffling in the resonators getting overwhelmed by the increased airflow. Im not a fan of that and would like to rectify it.

In regards to the law, I don't know what Florida's are regarding noise and/or emissions but if you're hauling ass while waking the dead in your MM, a by the book FHP may take a peek under your car and notice the lack of noise and emission reducing equipment. Make sure you try and keep everything that you have removed from your car as well..you can always reinstall and "re-mod" if needed.

I did a rear cat delete with old school cherrybombs, it was worse than the loudest Harley I ever heard, after 50 miles I put factory cat pipes back in. Besides being obnxiously loud it was totally raspy. It sounded like crap, not powerful but more like I beat the **** out of it and neglected the car

Cherrybombs are just a hollow muffler, correct?

All that free flowing exhaust is going to lower your back pressure too much and will lose low end tq. I would at least run a straight-thru muffler such as an Aero Turbine AT2525.
Here is mine with stock exhaust manifolds and from there back is all 2.5" mandrel bent stainless, two Magnaflow 200 cell cats, custom H-pipe, Aeros and 3.5" res-delete tips.

While cherry bombs(glasspacks) are a straight thru muffler, they do provide some sound deadening.
I've had 3 marauders and and by far the best sounding had all four cats and cherrybombs, they have a great idle, could be quiet if you keep your foot out of it, but when you stomp on it people will know your coming.

Glasspacks sound good but the packing eventually blows out of them and they get louder.

Been there. Done that. TOTALLY pissed off the neighbors, and the HOA, and the cops...
WAY TOO LOUD.
If I left from a stop like a granny, it sounded like I was racing and I got stopped all the time.

I've got 4.10s and 3500 stall converter, I was throttling while doing burnout and left half throttle on the roll-out.
After a little transplant sometime soon it should have a more. :lol:
