Maybe. You will not pass emissions, and there's an o2 sensor behind the cat, so you'll either need to have the computer tuned to get rid of it, or buy a simulator, but I've read that they don't last very long. If I had the same issue, I would put another cat in, you can get one off ebay for about $50.
