O2 sensors/cat questions
Hi everyone. I have an 01 maxima with ~240km on it. I got the typical o2 sensor codes the other day (P0138/P0139/P0430). I decided to go the O2 simulator route, so I ordered a dual output o2 sim. My question is do I need to do anything to address the cat? I obviously went this route because it's cheaper... If the cat is plugged or something, should I cut it out or gut it?
Cats aren't required where I live, is there any reason to remove it?
Thanks!

FYI if you live anywhere in the US the cat is required where you live. Its a crime against federal law to remove a catalytic converter from an on-highway vehicle regardless of whether you need to pass smog or not.

Thanks for the reply! I have read there are 3 cats (?), do I need to remove them all or just the main one? As with my jeep, does this just entail replacing it with a straight pipe?
I live in Alberta, and last time I looked this up I found a transportation of Alberta document explicitly stating that catalytic converter are not required.
Thanks for the info
