Can anyone tell me what issues i will have with my car if the cat has got no guts. I removed the manifold cat and found the last owner had taken the guts out. It now just has a large hole where the guts used to be.

Symptoms i have
1. Car will back fire a little if revved hard and then foot off the gas pedal
2. Engine management light constantly on.
3. Water in the exhaust back box
4. Steam out of back box exhaust pipe
5. Smell of fuel from the fumes
6. low power on acceleration.

Would the above symptoms be linked to the cat guts being removed ?????
The engine is a 2.2 Z22SE for info.
