yeah, you'd burn up your cat....
if you still have the cat. converter on the car, leave the COT on!

.......and I disagree. My vette use to kick COT in mid-way through 2nd gear constantly. I disabled it and never had a problem.
My grand prix had COT disabled for 3 years with zero problems and exhaust temps tend to get very high. I recently pulled the cat to put headers on and the cat still looked brand new.
Not to mention a long list of cars I've tuned that have had zero problems.

We all know what happens as exhaust passes through the cat , hydrocarbons in our exhaust gasses react with the cat to make cleaner emissions blah blah. My point is that with age cats plug off. That feature is there to prevent the vehicle from lighting up due to a plugged cat.
Desensitizing it is one thing.
But i wouldn't go so far as to disable it without removing the cat first.
At least in your case you had a convenient time to inspect the cat.
At least your honest about it:p

it was a joke. i dont have a tune either. it was just a question. which leads to my next. why cant i just cut the cat out and weld in a piece of pipe? and a 3rd, where would i find a catless dp?
In short, yes you can cut it out and replace with a straight pipe. But since there are plenty of down pipes available (Hogan, etc.), it's probably a cleaner and maybe even a cheaper way to go than to hack the factory one. It's pretty easy to swap out for the stock one, if you need to for any reason, where if you weld in a test pipe, you'll have to weld in a cat again.
Also, you'll need a tune to get rid of the code thrown by the post-cat O2 sensor.
