One thing I would like to point out: The Jeep that is in your video (Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ) has three cat. cons, as do so many other vehicles made today. The two front cats have o2 sensors before and after, but the third cat is not monitored in any way. That means you can remove the 3rd cat without any of the problems you are talking about.

No it will not damage your vehicle. If your o2’s are good, then your car will be fine. See Ivanruiz89 obviously did it and his car is fine.

There is no such thing as a “freeflow” cat. No company by law can sell a converter that does not meet OEM standards.

To solve this problem on bikes you use a power commander to effectively re-set the air fuel ratio.
What is the equivalent car “trick”
