What happens, if I remove the catalyst to my car. What fail could have the car, because I see that there are 2 sensors in that part of the catalyst?

There is no possible benefit to removing the converter and that should never be done. Not only will you have a constant check engine light but you could face a $25,000 fine for doing that.
