You'll probably notice it will stink a lot more.

Depends how clogged your old one is. I dyno'ed a an 8 wheel horsepower improvement by gutting a clogged cat.

(then I installed a real race pipe, then a header and test pipe)

If you try to use mufflers or resonators not designed for Rotary use, yes. Normal exhaust temps from an N/A Rotary almost max out most aftermarket EGT gauges/Pyrometers. That same heat tends to brake down and clog the cats, along with the oil and extra gas they burn/spit out.

Which the proper parts and no hippie tree-hugger cats (sorry guys, couldn't resist that one,) it's just peachy.
