What if all you have is liability insurance? Would the policy still be
void if you modded the car?
Thanks,
Richard

Your insurance policy will also be INVALID if you have removed the cats
and 
NOT informed the insurer.

Any modification to the car MUST be informed to the insurer - otherwise
in 
the event of a claim, if the loss adjuster finds a modification not 
communicated during the policy prior to the incident, the policy cover
can 
be cancelled with immediate effect.

Given that removal of the cats can give a 5%+ gain in performance, I'd 
suggest that this is a significant enough perofrmance gain to be making
the 
insurer aware off....
