you can but if you get caught its big trouble for you. Looking at 130ish for the converter plus labor.

plus there is an O2 sensor down there and without the converter it may fukk up up your fuel/air ratios if thats computer controlled

ive honestly never heard of one "being clogged" before. howd you come to that conclusion

Well. I just recently got a huge loss in power. and my shifts from 2-3rd are shuttering, and from 48mph - 50mph. I get the same hesitation/shutter/idle bounce.

take it to autozone and have them check the trouble codes

Buy a test tube for your car. It will bolt on to the manifolds where the converter would go and see if it makes a difference.

If you like the sounds it makes too leave it on and if you get pulled over without it on tell them you're testing it right now. Unless your car has o2 sensors then use tube for temporary

Ive had the codes read. And the only code that shows is Misfire on cyl. 3... But i have new plugs/wires. so how could cyl 3 be misfiring?

Yes you can clog the cat and yes it will run like crap and yeah it will shift like crap also, mine did on my 97 ram, changed it and the probs went away............
