You will either need a handheld tuner or MIL eliminators to keep your CEL light off. The car will run alirght though because only the upstream o2 sensors influence how the car runs.

......or spend a little bit of money and get an o/r H pipe. That way you can put the stock one back on when you get bored of the sound or for emissions. You can also cash in your old cats and pay for half of the new mid pipe. Just my .02

I bought my O/R pipe for $50.

Made my MIL eliminators for less than $5.
