I really think that there's nothing to be gained here. I've seen lots of people over the years think that they are improving efficiency through "breathing" mods.
I have never seen it happen. Modern cats are pretty free-flowing and don't do much other than remove air pollutants from the exhaust stream. I wouldn't recommend it at all, there's just nothing to be gained here.

Thanks for the information I did not realize the consequences were so severe! And other ppl saying that they have not seen a increase in efficiency is very helpful. That's why I asked, thanks.
