As far as the environment is concerned, yes. Catalytic converters are very important in regulating the amount of pollution your vehicle emits. As far as vehicle performance, removing a catalytic converter could increase horsepower and exhaust flow.
Removing the converter can (and does on most) cause the computer to over-correct for the improper oxygen sensor readings. This over-correction usually causes a reduction in power, economy, and running performance.
It is also highly illegal.
