Does running catless really affect performance?

I'll let you know what I go with man :)

I don't have codes and I used two Magnaflow spun cats. I also have a matched pair of 03 cats I was going to use but they were bigger than I wanted to use. Space is a little restricted above the cross member.

Here is a pair I have cut to take 3" pipes without restriction, IMO nothing out flows these. And they are for Sale as a pair only.

That's what I heard about cats, and that a two aftermarket cats = one stock cat.
What did you do with the O2 sensors, from going from a single cat to two cats?

I have the forward O2s plugged into the passenger side collector and the rear O2s installed on a **** I welded into the ORY pipe. This is now only for the benefit of trying to keep the OEM PCM happy as the engine management is now being run from a wide band plugged into the driver side collector.

Awesome thank you! Sorry for so many questions, I just don't want to install them and take them back off again. xD
