Default Removing Cats and relocating 2nd O2 sensor

Had a wild thought will this work?

Remove the 2 cats with straight through tubes (prefer not to gut them as they are costly replacement). Relocate the O2 sensor outside the exhaust pipe where it is in contact with clean air. The 1st sensor remains before the gutted cats.

Will this prevent error code from throwing out??

Default I bet if the sensor doesn't get "hot" it will be considered abnormal since the cat works...

by temp. Just a guess, don't know for sure.

Default Won't work...

2nd still helps with some minor adjustment. Though... it MAY not throw a code.

Default you are better off with just leaving them both O2 inside the exhaust...

with stock program you might not hit cel very often, maybe few a year.
