No danger in taking out the cat or not having a resonator.

It's gonna be loud NA.
You're gonna have a CEL. (without the resistor mod)
It's illegal.
It reeks.

Which turbo kit are you getting? The HRC kit uses the bottom half of the stock dp.

you gotta be kidding me...originally i wanted the star kit but everybody who sells them is having problems getting the intercooler in stock. that is why i was going to go HRC. guess i need to stop and think this whole thing out again. this sux....anybody have 3in with either kit let me know how/what you did it with..tks
