Yes.
well, just gutting them won't mean re-wealding as you don't have to cut them off/open to gut 'em
and if i run without them can i drive the car say 45 miles to the muffler shop??? im in South Carolina so i really dont know how strict they are about having them on or not.
I wouldn't. With the cats cut off you'll be dumping a TON of heat right on the firewall and/or trans.

this is true for about all cars. they will either sound better or worse.
pontiac grand prix? BETTER
mustang GT? WORSE
buick lesabre? WORSE
that being said, i cant think of anything that would make the glorious Jaguar V12 sound anything less than heavenly.
