If you remove a catalytic converter, you are breaking the law. It is a $2500 fine. It will not run right anyway, because of the oxygen sensor after the catalytic system. You are just going to get horrible fuel mileage if the cat is removed, and a check engine light that is annoying as hell.

Can replacing the flange gasket to exhaust manifold clear a p0420?
Not likely because: Code p0420 refers to a problem with your catalytic converter. The engine computer is able to test that converter by using an oxygen sensor before and after the converter. The computer can only test the converter under very specific driving conditions. If the computer determines that it is a good time to test the catalytic converter it will run the test. It compares the oxygen sensor readings in front of the converter to the readings behind the converter to see if the catalytic converter is functioning properly. If it is not functioning properly it will trigger a p0420. Sometimes if a catalytic converter is on the virge of failing it may fail one test and pass the next. This will cause your check engine light to come off and on every once in a while when the test is performed.
