First, Welcome to the site! There is a ton of information here, read up!

What state do you live in? I would ditch the cat, your local auto part store will have a pipe that will replace the cat, and several adapters.

The little pipe connects to the smog pump. All a smog pump does is inject fresh air into the cat and exhaust manifolds to try to lower emissions. By removing the cat and smog systems, you will not set a check engine light. There are no engine sensors past the cat on these cars. If you state doesn't have emissions testing, I would just chop the cat off.

No emissions, if I cut off cat it looks like to much of a bend in the pipe to get adaptor to seal right. Yes I'm clamping cant weld and can't afford to have it done.
Anyone have a picture of cat removed with a clamp??

Thanks guys
