RE: Remove the Catalytic Convertor
In Canada it is illegal to run with out a CAT. If you get pulled over for an inspection they will tow your car. Also if you have to go to the garage they wont work on it. If (you did) then you would most definately see an increase in power. (better flow) I am not sure what kind of damage this may cause. You would be polluting alot more. I would give it some thought before I cut it off. Just my opion.

RE: Remove the Catalytic Convertor
Why not purchase an aftermarket catalytic convertors? They are not as expensive as OEM. They are less restrictive for better performance.
Our cars require an ODB-II computer compliant catalytic converter for cars licensed in California.
I am familiar with several brands of 2 1/2 inch or 3 inch high-flow catalytic converters in order to upgrade our exhaust systems. So far, only DynaMax and Magnaflow aftermarket catalytic converters are OBD-II Compliant.
