You will get a cat efficiency DTC unless you turn off the post-cat HO2S or run MIL eliminators.

You would need a tuner to turn them off. And it will change the sound and give you a few more hp.

Some people choose to use mil eliminators which would go in those bungs. On my car, I have the rear O2s in there but they are just turned off.

That won't do anything. The rear H2OS only measure catalytic converter efficiency. They do not control anything..

despite what i thought, the new V6's (auto to be specific) definitely sound better to me without cats with an H-pipe (Prochamber on the 6 i've dealt with specifically). and quite honestly, i turned the car on with long tubes and off-road prochamber, and my buddy and i both were amazingly surprised how much like a V8 it sounded. i think as long as emissions aren't a problem, definitely go catless, and just turn them off with your handheld tuner

Ok I was just talking to a guy that use to work on custom set-ups for exhaust systems. His teacher was the man that created the exhaust system for the rx8. He said if you take the cats out you will get better gas mileage. Is that true? I don't have a strickt emistions law here. When I get my set up put on I might just get them to cut the cats right out. They will have to do some custom stuff any way.

if the cats are gone, your CEL will come on. with that, the motor what really know what to do sometimes as it's seeing that the catalytic converters are not doing their jobs and tries to adjust the fuel into the motor to help out with the "emissions" part of it
