V10 Backpressure

If i were to remove the cat off of my V10 (122,000 miles) would it be enough backpressure with just the muffler? it seems like after that long, the cat would get a little plugged up....and i dont really have the money for a new one.....ideas??

Why would you think it would be plugged up?
I have 170K and it is flowing fine. I had it loose (to install Y-pipe) and the catalyst block looked like it had 20 miles on it...

Whats anyones thought on cleaning it out? I had mine out, hooked a leaf blower to the outlet side, vac to the inlet and alot of what looked like soot came out. (I did do this outside and was careful not to breath the crap)

If it makes you happy, do it.

But if you get so much out that it seems to make a difference in performance, you should spend time to find out why. If all is OK, it should not need any maintenance.
