Will it hurt to cut off the catalytic converter and left of your 1988 dodge daytona?

Yes, it will hurt to cut off the catalytic converter of your 1988 Dodge Daytona. Doing so could negatively impact its air quality system; you may cause damage as catalytic converters play an important role in reducing the pollution created by the release of exhaust gas. Removing them creates emissions control issues that include an increase in smog, unburned hydrocarbons, poor gas mileage, loss of engine power, excessive black smoke emissions, oxygen sensor codes, catalytic converter codes, etc.
