This is why I avoided an OBD2 car.
To the best of my knowledge the downstream sensors need to be connected electrically but not screwed into the pipe.
I have heard contradictory reports on how well this works, most report no CEL issues, but there have been a few that reported otherwise.
Alon over on Rennsport also reported a distinct odor to the exhaust. form remmoval of the cat.
Neither of mine has a cat(both OBD1 though) and i have no issues w/ the exhaust odor thing.
I can't imagine passing Ca. emission inspection w/o a cat. or w/ any CEL
