You still get a code though.

Why do you want to remove the cat?

The neon cat isn't very restrictive at all. I doubt you gain anything from removing it and have yet to see any "proven" gains by removing it.

i dont have a downstream 02 sensor hooked up on my red r/t....i just have to deal with the check engine light but i dont care since the light is actually on because of 5 different things....
anyways, getting rid of the downstream wont make the car run any different....you just have the light
