You can do that. Won't hurt anything.

I went the real cheap route. I bought a 4 foot chunk of pipe and cut out the muffler and welded the pipe in the muffler place leaving the cat on. Cost 60 bucks.

I have a straight pipe w/o the cat also. It was so loud that I added a resonator which cured the noise w/o a muffler. I'm older so loud pipes weren't my thing anymore.

I wouldn't cut the cat pipe so it's unusable..... cost too much to replace if UNCLE comes knocking.
