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