Hey forum.....is is possible to just "disconnect" the catalyst? Without to many problems!!
What can happen if you buy a car with a G-kat and decide to take it of and install "normal" pipes?

Dunno if Johnono has answered this but yes you can just discoonect the lambda sensor and bin the cat.
There is a wiring loom socket underneath the battery tray under the bonnet, twist the connector off and remove the sensor. All cat prepared cars have a plastic cap attached to this socket to prevent corrosion, would be a good idea to raid a breakers yard for one.
The ECU will the run in open loop and you may even get a bit more 'poke'.
