all the converters do is make the car safer for the environment. it limits the amount of pollutants produced by the engine. i mean i took them off my town car and i know people that take them off their cars. it won't affect the way the car runs, however u may get a CHECK ENGINE light due to false codes from the O2 sensors. but thats no big deal the light should come on every once in awhile and then go out. but the car will actually breathe better and you get better gas mileage and better performance. however you must make sure that when you get the car inspected that you put them back on or the car will not pass. and it isn't technically legal to have them off but the only way people can find out that they are off is during inspection. also with the converters off the car might be slightly louder out the back. hope this helps.

You can take the caddie conv's off.
You might want to leave them on if you do emmisions testing.
It does make some extra HP. Bad for the env that that dude above me said.

I dont think you should/will take them off. If you do just unbolt the from the headers, not to hard
