I have two cats on a single exhaust system and I hate it! I would cut them off with a hack saw but don't have the tools/ability/facilities to weld in another pipe. I would just clamp a pipe in place of the cats but I assume it would leak so I leave well enough alone.
The exhaust shops around here want to to everything by the book. At least $200 for cat back duals.

I choped mine, then when the shop wouldnt pass it for inspection I got one of them high flow cats. Didnt change the sound enough for me to tell the differance and made them happy. Guess we both won on that.

I have one cat on mine. I wouldn't mind having it cut off, but I don't feel like having the hassle of getting an appt. at a shop, then sit and have 'em hack it off and weld in a y-pipe. I still might though, who knows.
I never thought about mileage. I average about 11, whereas my buddy with a hiflow gets about 17...maybe my cat's plugged or something.

Only because they're required for safety inspection in MO if the vehicle was originally equipped. Got 2 high-flow in front of dual Flowmasters on the 351, then stock setup on 00 Expy. My diesel won't have one, though!!
