Losing mileage by removing the or a cat(s) dosent make sense to me.
Installing an performance aftermarket exhaust, such a borla/magnaflow, you usually would see an increase in fuel economy due to less back pressure, correct?
So, by removing the cats, back pressure is decreased.
The only thing that i could see decreasing your mileage would be with the o2 sensors and the check engine light. But if they were turned off, i see no problem except a truck that wouldn't pass an emmissions test.

with no 02 sensor it has no idea how much fuel is being burn, or how much fuel it needs to add, so it will run rich. just like Nick's truck covering my truck with fuel coming out the exhaust when he had no cats. most of the CATs are there for a reason, plus they are high flow already, no need to remove them.

Yea Muffler shop would be in deep ****. But some of them will do it anyway if they know u wont say nothing bout them. Good thing bout living in alabama bunch of red necks that dont care bout the polution lol. Had mine out for 2 years now nothing bad has happened. When i go 55 down the trace heading to nashville i usually get around 27 mpg with no ac and the windows up. Truck dont burn a drop of oil it runs good. Its just loud and raspy without the cats. U will notice a big change in sound.
