Default exhaust issues

okay so i thought my cat on my blazer was plugged so i cut it off and put 2 1/4 inch straight pipe on but im still having an issue if i get on the truck and make it spin tires on take off once i get at 50-55 itll shake til i let off the gas and it doesnt always do it only when i play a little and it smells like its running really rich.

I wonder what you're driving, but if it only does this under the condition you specified, then the solution is simple...quit doing burnouts when you take off.
Oh...and put a catalytic converter back on. Taking it off does nothing to help the performance.
