Remove or replace cat?

So I have an '01 F250 with the 5.4. The cat has started to rattle from the inside (sadly not the heat shield). I already have a cherry bomb glass pack and was wondering how loud it would get with no cat. I really like the tone of the cherry bomb, it is surprisingly quiet (it is a really long one) and has a nice subtle tone. I really don't want the truck loud at all. I don't have the money to replace the cat either.

It will make it significantly louder. And stink.

If money is tight, put a "universal" high flow cat on. They can be had for well under $100 and will last several years.

Awesome, thanks! Hows this one look: Yonaka 3" High Flow Universal Catalytic Cat Converter | eBay

I could definitely afford that one. Looks like it is for a honda or something though
