i dont think it will hurt it? i drove close to 20k miles with a bad cat, and no problems.. the MPG just goes down.. and if you let it die, the motor might start getting funky, but nothing that should effect anything after its replaced (i think)

you can normally pick up used Cats that work for about $200 , or $225 shipped (those were the prices i got while looking for one before i got the donor) those were also the cheapest prices.. i also had someone in NY offer $125 shipped. so its not a big deal.. but you have to understand that you are getting a USED cat from a car that had a RECALL on the cats.. haha.. so who knows how long it might last..
