Yes, you can. Just keep in mind that in some places it is illegal to do so. Since the Catalytic Converter is there to reduce pollution, it's illegal to disconnect it, also it will result with your exhaust being louder.. which makes it more suspicious, and you'll end up being pulled over. Some people do it instead of buying an after market exhaust, cause all you do is disconnect it and it sounds like one.

What do Bat Auto specialise in?
Bat Auto specializes in the detection and repair of catalytic converters. This is the part of the car that filters out pollution in the exhaust gasses. The catalytic converter can typically be found under the car between the engine and the muffler.
How would you know the right catalytic converter for your car?
Just ask any auto parts store for an OEM style converter.
Where is the 02 sensor bank 2 sensor 1 located on a 2005 Toyota tundra?
According to Auto Zone, the sensor 1 bank 1 is before the catalytic converter with 2 and 3 located further downstream and are typically mounted in or after the catalytic converter. (bank 1 identifies the location of cylinder #1, while bank 2 identifies the cylinder on the opposite bank). What i need to know, is where the catalytic converter is on the engine. Hope this helps.
How do you replace oxygen sensor on a Mazda 6?
I have a 2005 Mazda 6s (V6 engine). There are 4 Oxygen sensors on my engine. You will need a special slotted socket wrench. It cost about ten dollars at your local auto parts store. It's designed with a slot in the side wall to fit over the wires coming out of the top of the sensor. On each side of the engine there are two sensors. One at the top of the catalytic converter and one in the pipe just below the converter. You go at the ones in the bottom of the converter from under the car and the ones in the top of the catalytic converter can be removed from inside of the engine compartment. You will have to remove the engine cover and the intake manifold to get at the sensor on the back side of the engine near the fire wall. Be sure and disconnect the connector of the oxygen sensor so the wires will not be damaged while you remove or replace the sensor. I'm sure if your car has a 4 cylinder engine you will have just two on the front side of the engine. One just below the exhaust manifold and just below the catalytic converter. Same procedures less work.
What do catalytic converter's do?
Combustion engines produce, in their exhaust, a number of nasty chemicals. The purpose of a catalytic converter fitted to the engine's exhaust system is to convert these nasty chemicals into harmless ones to provent environmental pollution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reduces the toxicity of internal combustion engine exhaust. It uses a catalyst and a chemical reaction to convert toxic combustion by products into a less toxic substance. A catalytic converter takes the exhaust gas stream from the engine and breaks the noxious components of the exhaust down to less noxious or harmless components. To reduce auto emissions. The catalyst in a catalytic converter causes unburned hydrocarbons to oxidize. To do so, oxygen must be present in the exhaust mixture. If an engine is running well, there isn't really much for the catalytic converter to do. If the engine is in need of a tune-up, the catalytic converter may get quite a workout and in the process it can get very hot. Also, deposits can build up on a catalytic converter, making it useless. If the engine is running poorly, and a lot of unburned fuel is going out the exhaust, deposits from the fuel can build up on the catalyst. If the engine is burning oil, oil deposits can also build up. It converts carbon monoxide, which is very deadly to all animals into carbon dioxide, which is not near as bad for the environment and it also helps prevent greenhouse gases because of this.

Need 1991 Chevy cavalier catalytic converter for California?
Chevy dealer, auto parts store, etc.
Did the early 1987 F250 extended cab long bed 4WD with the carburated 351 engine with auto trans originally come with a catalytic converter?
Some did and some didn't. I have the same vehicle with dual tanks. If it didn't come with a converter, these are the things to look for. Under the hood there will be a sticker that says no catalytic converter, the filler spout will be oversized for the leaded gas, and there will be no marking under the fuel gauge that say UNLEADED FUEL. All of that no converter.
Where to find transmission 1985 silverado Also need a catalytic converter?
Salvage yard or dealer for the transmission. Transmissions can also be purchased at any auto parts store. I would not install a used catalytic converter. Install a new one, sold at any auto parts store or muffler shop.
What would cause a 2002 Kia optima to stop working while driving?
A bad catalytic converter and stopped up muffler will slow down the car. The catalytic converter is under warranty up to 84,000 miles, if defective. If you ran over a speed bump and damaged it, you have to replace it. You can buy a lower catalytic converter for $120 from advance auto parts.
