If you gut standard cats you have the issue of a less than optimum gas flow , which will reduce power mid range. Lambda probe extenders may not work , but maxspeed offer ones with built in mini cats which appear to work very well.

ive got a 986 which had the cat-less manifolds and just the rear cats also it only has the front lambda sensors,ive got new performance manifolds and back box,
with having only the front lambda sensors gutting the cats shouldn't bring on the cel light

Not shouldn't, won't. The other posters missed the fact that you've got a RoW car.
