-he will pass smog test,
-he is likely to loose some mid range torque
-it will take the cats longer to warm up, but there are no secondary sensors anymore to trigger CEL,
-he will not get a warning if the cats fail in the future without secondary sensor (not suchs a big deal!)?

JD or BPD, please enlighten me if I am misunderstanding something
Hi Bfan, this is generally true except, engine efficiency+ quality & surface area of cat cells determines emissions reduction to pass emissions test. He will lose low rpm power transitioning to gains somewhere in mid range & up.
