Can you bypass a catalytic converter on a 2000 Chevrolet blazer?

It has a vortex motor. I dont know much about cars but someone told me that some vehicles can have the catalytic converter bypassed, just wondering if this is possible on this type of vehicle.|||Sure.. You can remove the cat, but it's not legal. Some shops won't even do a service like that, or atleast would want you to sign a waiver.|||Sure, if you want a $10,000 fine. It is a federal offense if you remove any properly functioning OEM emissions equipment from a vehicle, including the catalytic converter. Most states have a limit on how much you can be fined, usually between $1000-1500, but the federal law sets the fine at $10,000. Also, shops will not do this kind of work because they will get fined a minimum of $10,000 in just about any state, and can be up to $100,000, and this is for EACH offense. Imagine if they did it to just 1 car a day for a year, how much that fine would be. Realistically, unless the cat is bad, you aren't going to gain anything by bypassing it.
