wont ruin the engine but since its a gutted pen cat it will lose low end torque very noticeable, your economy will take a hit, and your just doing too much work.

With no catalyst at all, you will get a engine light.

Remove the stock cats, replace with pre-bent piping and run no cats. Changes in exhaust diameter can fluctuate with velocities which isn't going to help you out when you need power.
