It's a violation of federal law to remove or disable the catalytic converters, punishable by a $2,500 fine for individuals and $25,000 for shops. Not a good idea. And not a good idea to cut out the catcons. It won't help performance, it can cut power slightly by reducing backpressure, and it will pollute considerably more. In some states, if you sell a vehicle that won't pass emissions or safety inspection, within the first 30 days the seller must pay to fix the vehicle to get it to pass. There's really no upside to this.
