Catalytic converter clogged
My catalytic converter was clogged up so cut it it off and put a straight pipe on. Im still experiencing the same problemsas before. This includes power loss and stalling at high RPMs. I am thinking possibly that I am not getting enough back pressure without the Cat. Has anyone else tried a str8 pipe in place of the cat?
Thanks,jon

I have a straight pipe in place of my cat right now because it started rattling. It runs just fine, although I didn't really drive it much before the removal, but no stalling or shortage of power by any means.
I am, however, going with a magnaflow high flow cat as soon as possible for two reasons... #1 it is not legal to run without a cat, #2 no cat makes the exhaust sound almost "ricey", especially without a resonator.

Get a cat back on. The short time I ran without one on my 95 L67, I noticed a distinct loss of low-end torque. This backs up the experiences of other members here.
And find the root cause too. Fuel pressure sounds like a good place to start.

If you have a low pressure issue, before jumping right to fuel pump...first thing to check would be the fuel filter and change it if you have no idea if or when the last time it was changed. a clogged one can kill a fuel pump prematurely. also be sure to check the fpr for fuel in the vacuum line.

Its a good idea to run fuel injection cleaner once in a while to keep the pump pickup screen and filter / injectors working properly. I like to do it when changing the oil.
If you have not changed the filter recently its probably time to do so.
