The 2 back cats... Leave the fronts alone.... Just cut the pipe after the second 02 sensor. No codes with this setup.

Keep those rear cats....they will need to be re-installed when you sell the truck. It's illegal to remove any emissions equipment that came from the factory, unless it's replaced with an oem type replacement part. Federal law, not local. Hefty fine if you sell it with them removed.
