Default Bypassing Cat Convertor

My 156 2.0 TS is of 1999 vintage, with 275 000 Km on the clock.

I'm sure the catalytic convertor in the exhaust system provides little more
than back pressure these days. A replacement would be too expensive.

Our local regs do not insist on these things (though most new cars do have
them).

Has anyone removed their cat convertor - replacing it with a straight piece
of pipe? A slight bit of power boost may result.
