A lot of us have done this and the general consensus is it's fine to do as long as you keep some back pressure in the exhaust by not removing the baffles entirely. Drilling a few holes is fine.

I have totally removed the cat and baffles with no negative performance issues. I will say that if you have totally removed the baffles and are planning on getting an aftermarket exhaust in the near furture I wouldn't worry about the Cat. If I was charging myself labor it would've cost me twice as much to remove the Cat than to just buy an aftermarket exhaust Seriously it's a pain in the ass to remove it all, or at least it was for me and took longer than I planned for. Not trying to discourage you but just make sure your preppared for the task at hand and it helps to have at least a six pack on stand by ;D
