For one, it is illegal. Also, your check engine light will be on constantly, as there are sensors contained within the catalytic converter. In some states, this will cause you to fail inspection, and leave you unable to renew your registration.
Agreed, and just removing the cat will play havoc with your downstream O2 sensors and not send the right signal to the ECU to have a correct fuel/air trim, causing very poor performance and economy
