Catless Exhaust

If I wanted to go catless but couldn't get my hands on catless downpipes from ARH because of no shipping to Canada and also don't want to get screwed by the weak canadian dollar right now, can the exhaust shop just cut the cats out and run some pipe?I have no clue how this works so sorry if my questions sounds stupid lol

Ahahaha I don't know why I find that funny.Almost like a drug deal.Well looks like I will be going catless.MDelete/X Pipe is not loud enough for me and I want more pops.When I downshift I hear some nice pops but it's almost like something is muffling them out and they just wanna burst out...time to cut those cats off lol

I always have a CEL because of my gas cap anyways lol so I don't care.

I'm also running straight pipes. The car loses bottom end power, it will stumble more severely if you try to accelerate at 1000rpm in third gear etc. I wouldn't call it laggy, still rips.

o2 extenders keep my CEL off. It sets it every once in awhile, low voltage (running lean) my theory is that because my extenders have no seal like the o2 sensor does, it let's air in. Going to copper RTV them up today.
