I always run a muffler too so there is still backpressure... Ive taken cats off of probably 12 or so vehicles and never got a check engine light because of it...

Though the one I havent yet is my 96... so dont know... If so, you can always get o2 eliminators as well.

you know how much o2 eliminaters run around? and the mufflers i was thinking of using are flowmaster super 10's wich are single chamberd...i dont know if they provide much backpressure as others would.

Backpressure is a debated topic altogether but with stock headers and a straight pipe I've heard it still has enough backpressure to make everything run right
