Are the 94136 really only about 80 or less per cat? Thought they were way expensive. I don't have access to shopping websites at work except for summit for some reason.

Nice. I was going to check there, but no access at work. If I get bored that isn't a bad price.

I curious about the original question. If he gutted the back 2 cats---What would that do to performance and the truck? Help or hurt?

As answered already, read the link. Gutting kills velocity, also anytime you change the flow past the front O2's, you risk changing the a/f readings. Cats are not a large restriction in the system so there's no performance benefit to really any cat modification unless you're well beyond stock. People create a larger restriction with baffled mufflers than the cats make.
