No, but you must prepare for a barrage of insults and opinions regarding this.

Just put the muffler on and enjoy

I took of the last cat and ran a flowmaster Original 40 series 3" inlet 2.5" dual outlet sounds good to me and about 500,000 people on youtube check out the vid in the drivetrain page. you take off all the cats you will loose too much back pressure and the mpg's will suffer

totally false. as long as the exhaust system is well designed so that scavenging of the exhaust gas is maintained bp is a nonfactor.

i have no cats and a 50 series and i really like it, a 40 series with no cats can be a little too raspy with too much drone

Very good.

Actually backpressure SHOULD be minimized, but you want to keep the flow fast. Backpressure usually increases flow so it is a double edged sword.

No. The fuel trims will NOT change. The truck doesn't care if there are cats or not, it only wants to see a difference in the two 02 sensor readings for emissions. The first ones do the fuel trims, the last one just wants to see a difference.

Use a de-fouler. You can buy them at most autoparts store. I think its 18mm. Buy two of them, drill the inside of one out to fit the 02 sensor tip in, and bolt them both together, and then put the entire assembly into the exhaust pipe. Search on google, there are several how-to's.

You don't understand exhaust design, and you didn't measure before/after yet your saying "no there's no less power"...
