If you remove the catalytic converters, you'll have fault codes for the post oxygen CAT sensors. This will affect your vehicles driveability because not only it monitors the catalytic converters but it does affect your fuel injectors.

Jim C. can probably reprogram the DME to ignore the post 02 sensors but this might be a federal offense but email him and see whats up?

If you were sucessful, you'll gain top end performance yet sacrifice low end due to the reduce back pressure. However, if the dealer sees this, you'll might lose your engine/powertrain warranty.

In my opinion, I would keep the catalytic converter. Not worth the money just to gain 10hp and lose torque.
