Well, you'd pass the visual inspection, that's for sure

No (thank gawd ). I though this thread was about catalytic converters.

Do you think Ford cats work any differently than Dodge cats?

there is no problems that can arise from gutting a cat, maybe on the new DPF equipped trucks cause they have o2 sensors and everything which having a gutted converter would mess with that, however on pre DPF trucks the cat was just there to be there pretty much, and only positives can come from getting rid of the cat converter
