Question Removing Convertor Screw 2001?

I have already put independent duals on my 2001 Screw and it has help with the MPG. But I want better MPG.

My brother works at a muffler shop and he has already talked to the owner, so noprob about cutting out the convertors.

I want to know if the convertors are cut out will it damage my engine and make the internal comp go hay-wire?

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, it will cause problems and you'll be driving around with a check engine light. Do our lungs a favor and keep the converters on.

What other problems will occur besides the "check engine" light being on all the time?
