Mechanically, removing the catalytic converter may temporarily improve performance and reduce engine load, especially in older o r clogged systems. That’s why many local mechanics recommend it. However, its not ideal for the long term.

Risks of removing the catalytic converter:
Engine light may stay on unless ECU is reprogrammed

Harmful emissions pollution and bad smell

Reduced resale value

Can cause sensor errors and affect fuel-air ratio over time

Alternative suggestion:
Instead of removing it, try professionally cleaning o r replacing it with a high-flow aftermarket catalytic converter if needed.
