Put the converter back on. Its a federal crime to remove it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, no, no... you don't have to put it back on. They make a bypass for it that you can buy off of eBay and if you really just want the "super-easy-fix", take out the bulb.

What happens if you take the catalytic converter off of a 1998 Chevrolet Silverado?
It would be plain stupid to remove the converter. The converter is designed into the engine controls of the vehicle. Removing it wouldn't really increase power because they have very little backpressure. If you want to remove it because its plugged or bad then you could do so but the check engine light would come on and it would never pass a smog test. It won't physically hurt the engine to remove it. Removing the converter is against the law. I would have an aftermarket converter welded in to replace your old one if its bad.

Removing the catalytic converter is illegal. It will also not improve fuel mileage. The engine will not run properly with the converter removed and the check engine light will not go off and cannot be turned off as it will just come back on. The ECU will try to adjust the fuel/air mixture to compensate for the missing converter which will hurt economy not help it. The fine is $2,500 if you are caught. Install a converter back on your car ASAP.

How do you remove the Catyltic converter from a 2002 Dodge Ram 3500 regular cab Will the engine service light come on and if so how do you get it off?
You don't. The check engine light will come on if you tamper with the converter, you will not be able to turn it off. The engine will also suffer from lower fuel economy and performance. I agree, with the above post. It is also illegal to do this. Why would you want to do this in the first place unless your converter was clogged, which is highly unlikely on a 2002 vehicle? Leave it alone, there is no positives in removing it and plenty of negatives.
