Who is running catless mid pipes?

Just curious how you guys like the system with no cats. I'm debating getting no cats and using the o2 extenders. I have a tune so I'm pretty confident I won't get any cel. Any other info would be appreciated.

I have DT LT headers & mid pipes/no cats and driving for a little over a week with no tune, CEL came on but was to be expected. If you are tuned you shouldn't have anything to worry about. You might not need the extenders, just depends on the heads you go with. I know for a fact that you will need them for Stainless works and my DT heads. Others i'm not aware.

I have cats well I have the shell the insides were hollowed out as soon as I found out my county was emissions exempt. Seemed better then paying 200+ for new midpipes and I have OBX LTs and JBA 3in exhaust with Solo J pipes. Popping is horrible so I'm thinking about putting cats back on.

well you can be tuned and still get a CEL. you are tuned for a cat back and intake correct? chances are the tuner did not touch the cats. but that i mean turn the sensors off
