So besides just cutting the cat off...are there any o2 simulators or anything I need to get...and if I do remove it...I know I'll gain a little HP and TQ...but will I also gain gas mileage...and also what if I went with headers and different exhaust will it improve my gas mileage...or would I be better off just getting a highflow cat...I don't know alot about this stuff so any help would be greatly appreciated...

Why bother removing the CAT? It's there for a reason. Is the extra HP/Torque enough to justify removing the CAT and throwing more pollutants in the air? Get a high flow cat at least...

Getting aftermarket headers and exhaust will allow your vehicle to "breath" better because the exhaust gases will be able to exit your car easier. A downfall is that the torque and horsepower gains are usually moved into the higher RPMs and you may lose some grunt in the low end.
