Gutting a stock 2g cat...?

[Jahjahpoet]

I have a question... I would like to gain some more hp... I've heard people talking about gutting the catalactyc converter... How do you go about doing it? Will I still pass emmissions test if I do it? will it be a significant gain? how loud will it be? And I wont expierience a worse sounding exhaust sound will I?
