I have the obd11 handheld analyzer. It showed no codes. The check engine light does not come on. I removed the clamp from the downpipe and started the truck. I drove it around, it still was slow to increase RPM but it is definantly way better. I believe that the cat is clogged completely. Now what to do? Can I run it without a cat? If so where do I get a piece of filler exhaust pipe? Should I remove the cat and gut it out and replace? Or should I get a new cat?

I removed my cat when I upgraded my downpipe and used a piece of race pipe in its place. Whether or not its legal depends on your state and local regulations. Some have just gutted the cat and leave it in place.
