you could cut the cats, but if you do I would suggest welding a peice of straight pipe inside the gutted cat so that way the exhaust won't resonate inside the empty chamber.

might as well just completly cut the cats out, and pass emissions with a stock pipe or if you have to weld the cat's shell around the o/r pipe
