Tuning the rear 02 sensor codes out is the best solution. If that is not an easy proposition for you, then I would say the work involved plus the expense to have someone tune it isn't worth the minimal gains, especially if you don't have headers.

I ran no cats with stock manifolds. made the car louder ( which I liked) and they welded 2 pipes in the cats place. I had to have O2 Sims so it wouldnt throw a code. now I have them turned off by my tuner. Good Luck!

i have no cats in my car and if it was not for running e-85 the smell would be unbearable. I started my car up this spring in the garage with the gas i stored the car with, and my eyes were on fire, i might of gotten high from the fumes but i cant remember.
