By removing it lol chevy dealers MIGHT replace it free of charge because of the emmissions law but depends on where you live. Call to see if its available in your state.

Call your nearest dealer later on and ask. So go to sleep now and stop stressing about it cuz I'm 90 percent sure that's the problem if they don't replace it , look on the classifieds section here and/or post a "wanted" ad and someone will hook you up with a used piece

Why not just take it off and just get rid of all the material inside of the cat and go from there

Yes, but you'll throw a code. You can cut it out the old cat and weld in a new one.

This is also doable, but you'll throw codes.

It should be covered under the emissions law.

It was bumped to 10 years 100,000 miles on the LSJ converters.

I would look into that.

This. I got a letter about it sometime ago regarding the redline and Cobalts. Of course, I already changed the downpipe.
