Well, you certainly can't do that if you live in California - you would not pass the bi-annual emission test that is required to renew your vehicle license. Other states have different rules and tests for emissions, but I know that at least some states (New York, for example) have rules very similar to those in California.

I think the y pipe only removes one precat on the 2000 Max. You would need to do some custom work to fab something for the other precat in it's place.

Or, just punch out the precats and use your existing Y pipe. I had mine done at the shops by Citi Field (shea stadium). I forget the name of the shop but found someone who worked there on NYCmaxima board (which doesn't seem to exist anymore).
