Since removing the catalytic converter would be a violation of Federal law, nobody should advise you to do it.

You cannot eliminate the O2 sensors and hope to still have a properly functioning engine.

At least put a hi flow cat to keep it legal... On a 5L mustang on a mustang dyno, removing the cats only increased HP by 6... Not worth it to remove them...
