Actually it is legal to remove them, it is illegal for a licensed shop to
remove them. Doing it yourself is fine. Many shops around here will even
install the replacement pipes for you if you meet the letter of the law by
removing the cats yourself.

It's not against the law to not have them, it's illegal (I believe) to
remove them. There's a difference. Muffler shops won't install pipes in
place of cats unless you sign something to the effect that it's off-road
or competition use only, and some not even then.
