depends on the exhaust your get.

a cat back exhaust (like the one in that add) will start right after the cat, bolting to the old cat. you can find a system with a cat included or you can just buy a new cat.

i dont know how the laws are in ohio as far as emissions goes but here you can just remove the cat and put a piece of pipe in its place and then just put a non fouler in to trick the o2.

personally i would just replace the cat. i cant stand the sound of a no cat.
