LT1 Exhaust question

[quikws6TA]

Recently one of my catalytic converters has gone bad on my 96 ws6. Instead of paying a couple hundred for a new one i was wondering if i could just run a straight pipe from the manifold back. If so, does anyone have any helpfull ideas or hints they could tell me? The car already passed e-check last week so i dont need them for another couple years. Thanks

Yes, you can run without cats on the y-pipe, but you'll need O2 simulators for the rear O2s.

U can always get the back o2 sensors deleted, thats what I done. pcm america he will delete anything and give u a small tune for 38.00!

Thanks Everyone, turned out it wasnt even that cats. Was a loose clamp that was making them rattle....Yes I know Im a moron.
