Gutting out cat??

Hey gang i have a bone stock CYM. I live where there are NO smog checks. I was wondering if gutting out the cat would harm anything on a completely stock FD. Would i experience boost spikes? Would the gutted cat cause the car to run poorly without any other mods? What is the best way to gut a cat out? Thanks

you should be fine if you have your stock catback and precat.
