I didnt do anything to the o2 sensor there still pluged in and mounted in factory location, It did throw a o2 code and the check engine light stays on.
But I dont see how I get better gas mileage now, with them off the truck??
I took the old cats and held them up and you can still see the honey comb stuff inside and they weren't clogged up or anything... But Im still planing on getting some high flow cat's to put back on my truck, so the check engine light will go off...

When the tuners remove their cats, they install an O2 simulator circuit in place of the post cat O2's.
