Exhaust cats swap to improve flow?
If I didn't want to replace the exhaust system but wanted to improve the flow of gases. Could you simply swap out the OEM cats, which I believe are in the 700 cell range, to 200 cell?
Would that improve the flow? Sound? Let the turbos spool up faster? Could it be a easy swap? No mods needed?

Great question! Unfortunately you can not, the 997T turbo back is all one piece (see photo below) in order to drop the restrictive factory cats you'll need to do a full system. Fabspeed offers a few turbo back solutions for the 997 turbo that sound incredible, make great power, and remove the factory boat anchor exhaust.
Both of the systems that I have listed below are turbo back systems that replace the factory cats with our sport HJS 200 cell's or with catbypass pipes. The Maxflo is our more tame, street exhaust while our supersport x-pipe is our more aggressive track style

is there a way to prevent the check engine light when switching to catless?
(without remapping)

New exhaust system is the way to go.. with some high flow cats.. huge improvement. you will love the new sound of your car that should of came with from the factory I went a no cat set up on my 997 turbo with a tune also. Best sound ever, but unfortunately I had to buy new cats to pass emissions and have test pipes laying around as expensive scrap metal.

I see you ctony22 and I have the same set up.. Kline and Cobb... nice!! I just didn't like removing and reinstalling all the time to pass emissions, I live in Chicago, for some reason they are making me take emissions again in 8 months.. But i only had this new set up for about 8 month and i might just sell the whole thing and start fresh again on another car.. lol.

I use extenders that I bought from sam. They have little honeycomb things in the end of them. Then I pack steel wool in them until you can just blow through them. Not perfect but does keep the light off for a long time if I drive normal. I will get a custom tune soon and hopefully that will help.
