At least on the Mustang it's not as easy as bypassing the cats and gettin' down the road, so I'd do some research before you start hacking up your exhaust.
Hey Jim! You out there?

Actually, the 2nd set of cats don't have O2 sensors to worry about from what I'm told (I've yet to look). I'm not going to "hack up my exhaust" without knowing for sure.. and this certainly ain't my first rodeo
Many reputable aftermarket companies sell cat bypass pipes for the box and claim no issues at all. My only reservation with going this route is that I can't just hit a 'civilized' button to drive through my neighborhood at night.
edit: to be quite honest, the 'parlor trick' aspect of this is the one most appealing to me... I might even get one of those silk-screen printed red buttons that says 'race' like the 360 Modena Challenge Stradale!
