It is against Federal law to remove it. I have read on the Banks web page that the cat has no effect on exhaust flow. A lot of folks are installing the 4 inch turbo back exhaust and welding in the cat. They say it is larger than 4 inches.

Can't recall where, but someone did dyno, accelleration, etc... testing with/without can't and found NO DIFFERENCE !
And as Bob says, it's against the FEDERALIES
I did the same thing, put the turbo back in and then had the cat welded in...
it IS larger than my 4" exhaust...
