The state fines can be heavy for removing your catalytic converter. I've heard of $5000 fines in California, but being from Kentucky, you should be fine.
Sure, you can weld a straight pipe, to replace your cat, but finding a muffler place that will do it might be kind of hard. Gutting out your cat is another option, but you may end up with a "ting"ing sound or rattleing. In my opinion, I would go with a high-flow cat, from MagnaFlow or like company. That will set you back $50 - $100, and it's a simple bolt-on, (compared to having to weld). That way, you still have a functioning cat but the flow at the same time.

Also, you know if you get a high-flow cat, in the higher RPM's (or VTEC) a thing black smoke may come out of your exhaust, since it won't be burnt up in cat... right?
