Yes you can and it would not hurt anything, Ford likes to make people beilive that you cant do this stuff because it will hurt the enigine and on and on and on, but it is bull, In fact I have a 99 ford f150 4x4 with the 5.4, I have 2 striaght pipes on mine front he cats back and have had no problems in the last 75,000 miles they have been on it, and it will increase your horsepoer and torque too, and it is not too loud either just gives it a nice deep loud tone.

Why would the catalytic converters get red hot and glow as well as effect power on a 2001 Yukon XL with a 5.3 liter Vortec engine?
Excess fuel can super-heat the converter causing the converter to meltdown. The excess fuel can be the result of many possible engine malfunctions. The converter meltdown would result in blocked exhaust flow resulting in power loss. At this point the converters are junk. Do not just replace the converters without correcting the cause.
Can a catalytic converter be bad and cause a engine to run poorly?
No your car will infact run better (more power), exhaust gasses are able to flow much more freely without a Cat. The downside you will shorten the life of everyone who drives behind you as a Catalytic Converter Converts deady gases to less harmful gases. Highly Illeagal to remove these from you car. Fines in Australia are something in the order of $10,000.

What is an exhaust flex joint on a car?
Some (front wheel drive) cars have a flexible piece of pipe that connects the exhaust manifold to rest of the exhaust system. The length of pipe is designed to allow the engine to rock back and forth on its mounts. Without the flex joint, the movement of the engine would damage the rest of the exhaust system.

Where is the converter on a 1997 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer?
The torque converter or the catalytic converter? The torque converter is inside the bellhousing that connects the engine to the transmission. The catalytic converter is inline of the exhaust pipe ahead of the muffler; it's probably the first bulge in the exhaust. Removing your catalytic converter is illegal and if your state has a vehicle inspection your car won't pass without it.

Can a 1996 Ford Taurus run without a catalytic converter where is the o2 sensor at?
Yes, the Taurus can run without the catalytic converter--it is not necessarily good for the engine, but disconnecting it will cause it to fail emissions testing. If you've seen the Honda Civics running around smoking like a factory, this is caused by no electrolytic converter. The O2 sensor could be in the exhaust pipe between the manifold and converter.

How important is a catalytic converter to the actual running quality of a 1992 sedan deville is straight pipe an okay alternative or will that mess up everything if so what will it do to the ride?
Running a straight pipe will improve the engines performance, but at a cost. You will have a very loud car with not pollution controls for the exhaust. This may cause CO2 fumes to build in your car without you knowing it and cause you to pass out at the wheel.
What is the cause why the exhaust became red hot?
Without specifics I can only guess. Based on your description I would guess the "Red Hot" is the catalytic converter. The converter does normally become extremely hot, about 1000 degrees F. If the car is running poorly and emitting high levels of pollutants, the converter temperature can reach as high as 2000 degrees F. In this case the converter innards will melt and destroy the converter.
You bought some electronics in China which requires 220v In that case can you use these devices in Canada which uses 110v without getting a voltage converter to convert from 220v to 110v.?
No.. you can't... You will actually be damaging your instrument.. It is highly recommended that you use voltage converter... I think it is not too costly
