N26 second catalytic converter

How will be affected the functionality of the N26 if i remove the additional catalyctic converter. As you see in the picture the N20 does not have that catalytic.

No major difference you will notice.

Maybe your emissions will be a little worse but overall better than most cars on the road

Your exhaust may flow a tad more freely

Removing the downpipe cat makes a bigger difference

Good question. I'm dying to find out if anyone here with the N26 has eliminated their second cat and tried to pass Virginia emissions inspection with just the one cat in the downpipe.
