It all appears to be 1 unit from the outside, but I'm pretty sure there are 2 catalyst components to each cat pipe.

Removing just one of those bricks but leaving the other one in-tact is a different story... you're probably better off not trying.
Im from PR, there is ways here to get by emission laws. I think if I strip out one brick from each bank would be sort of having a HFC, also from just looking at you cannot tell nothing has been done (for warranty reasons) I will let you guys know after I try it.
