well i did this a while back, but i couldnt get it to work. i bought a straight pipe and used that in place of the cat, however the outlet of the cat is flanged and i didnt have a flange, so it leaked. but if you can get a pipe with a 2 bolt flanged outlet then thats the best way to do it. also when you need to pass smog, like me, i can just put the cat back in.

i would think there would be since the cat is gone for emission purposes and stuff. but you can bypass it if there is a sensor. i haven't removed the cat so not for sure on that.

allright sounds good, ill just take it off and run a straight pipe, its no biggie if i have to throw the cat back on once a year for inspection, the last 2 times i went they didnt even look they just felt the rotors and slaped a sticker on there, so for all i know i can be driving a death trap lol
