i need some advise on cats!!

[SPEEDY88]

I recently cut the cats out of my G.T. Now I am running straight through exhaust. I have a strong smell of smoke inside the car and I know it is because i don't have the cats. I also notice that when I floor it I look behind and I see alot of smoke. What should I do? Should I leave them off or should I put them back on? they were hi-flo cats. Please answer back...specially if you have done this. another question is...Did I pick up any horses by doing this? I love the awesome sound it emmits but i don't like the smell!!!! thanks ooh yeah it also backfires sometimes..is it because I took them off also????? I hope so.
