Lately I have been having cataylatic converter problems, my truck is sluggish and slow at times like it isn't breathing well. I have a K&N air intake with stock exhaust. I had it check by the dealer, they said it would need to be replaced. Is there any way I can bypass the two sensors on the three way converter system to put in a straight pipe?

Trying to short cut there in built systems is just asking for trouble, the engine management system is designed to receive input signals from there components, messing around will only make things worse, you should be looking at the underlying problem regarding the tune specifications of the engine, if you get that right, the rest will fall into place,
