Hi,
if you have an O2 sensor after one, you can't remove it, if O2 sensor is or are before the cat system you're ok.  If you need to leave it there you can by a free flow.  The chemistry still the same but with way less restriction....

If you take off the cat it gets LOUD.  Not good loud, sorta truck-like...
