          Yes. You're essentially removing a filter from your exhaust. Expect it to smell a little. Similar to fuel and rotten eggs.

          Some high flow cats have been known to set off the rear O2 sensor.

              might take it off, then if it stinks too bad put a high flow on lol....any thing else besides headers i can do to make it louder/ less rasp.....has a flowmaster and whisper lid on it

                Putting a high flow cat on would help to reduce rasp. Removing the cat completely will make it rasp even more.

                    I've read about different things with the Magnaflow Hi-Flow cat. Some people get a code, others don't. Kind of a luck of the draw. You can always have it tuned out if you don't want a sim.
