Removal of Catalytic Converter is illegal and not recommended. Not only is it bad for the environment but in an otherwise fairly standard car won't have a huge benefit. It's not restrictive at power below about the 130kw mark for the 2.0 as far as I know.

I agree with Adam, although I can guess either you have modded your way out of warranty or perhaps the car is just a shade over 3 years old.
