Yes, you can weld a pipe in and the computer won't crap out on you.
Another thing you may want to do if you live in an area w/ smog tests is just have a test pipe made up for you with flanges on the pipe and cat so that you can unbolt it and stick the cat back on when emissions comes around.

The only problem with gutting the cat is the exhaust expands in the cat chamber, then compresses again at the exit. I'm not sure if that hurts any, tho... I'm currently running with two gutted cats.

Just gut the cat and put a piece of pipe inside it, that way you can pass the visual inspection.
