By box I'm assuming your talking about the Catalytic converter.  Yes,
there will be some big problems if you pull it out.  The O2 sensor and
the entire fuel management system is dependend on that box being there.
When you pull it out you probably won't get enough heat for the sensor
to work properly and the system will constantly be giving you the wrong
air/fuel mixture.

PS, if you're not talking about the cat... then cool.
