Probably not enough back pressure now. May hurt your valves.

Not true....If you disconnect it allowing direct acces up to inside the header...after driving any extreme cold air or water if it gets up there you run the risk of possibly warping the valves.

if your not forced induction don't do it. your stock motor needs back pressure.

please, please read my posts in this thread... they answer the questions

You won't lose power, and your valves will be ok as long as you leave the cat on... did you remove b4 or after the cat.... if b4, just stuff a rag in the outlet when you shut the car off to stop the air from entering
