That would be funny to see - just say - Dad , just trust me on this one , uhmm, wheres the SawZall 
I had flowmaster 50 series for awhile , that wasn't like 40's - after swapping for the Magnaflow , it was quieter until yuh got on it and it was great .. I removed the rear cats and it was awesome!!
But don't remove or gut the fronts - I just did that - what a mistake - I 'm in the process of correcting the situation - it's up 3 feet in the air out in the shop right now lol..

The safe way to go on the exhaust is to get rid of the old cat setup - the whole thing and get one MAGNAFLOW HF cat per side - very O2 friendly and will pass Emissions - but best of all , she'll breath and perform as well . Definitely get better mileage than the 4 cat design ..
What do you want it to sound like ? quiet ? loud? I like the GT sound at take off - so do the woman
Get rid of the rear cats and replace with a strait pipe - leave the front ones alone and put a half way decent muffler in the back and you'll have good sound and more pickup..

IMO gut the fronts, and leave the backs. You are guaranteed not to throw a code.
I ran my sea foam through the IAC. Paul showed me how to do it. He said it cleans out the IAC that way too.

What if?
So, if I scrap the whole 9 yards and put in the high flow maggies, I just screw the stock front 02 sensors in the maggies, and leave the rears in the pipe? Will that mod. dork my custom TP ex-cal tunes in any way?
