Catalitic converter removal: pro's vs.cons

Have been told you can really increase your mileage but want more input. 98 1500 4x4 360 auto 150k. flowmaster via previous owner. Also my air flow in the cab kick of temperarily when i get on it;vaccum issue of some sort i'm guessing

Well, if you can get the pipe off behind the cat, you could use a long bar or something similiar and beat on the stuff til it breaks up enough to get out, I've done that in the past. Mine was gutted when I got it, whoever did it just cut the side open and did it that way then just welded it back up. Dunno what would be easier for ya....
And there was a DIY for the O2 sensor mod but I can't seem to find it.... Basically what it does in the end is move the sensor out of the direct flow of the exhaust, and this tricks it into thinkin the cat is still functioning properly.
