I bought Circuit Werks cat delete pipes around $150. It fit no issues and it is a nice clean install with all the pieces. I do like the idle sound and @ 2900 RPMs just cruising with the top down there is a nice note to the exhaust. It sounds pretty mean in tunnels too.
Do you get any error codes by just swapping in those bypass tubes?

No, all oxygen sensors are upstream from the secondary cat locations.

Hmmm for $150 maybe worth the investment to let the engine breath a bit more. Thanks for the info. Been kicking around to changing muffler to a fvd sound version, maybe do it with the cat delete.

Not at all. They install after the O2 sensors.
Ops, just realized Dave80GTS answered
Definitely worth it. A bit of work to get the (3) bolts off the end of the primary cats
