I have an 01 with pre-cats gone and replaced with LT
headers, no codes. Car will sound better and will be a
little louder. Otherwise, no problems.

Do the O2 sensors remain stock? You didn't change them? what about the regular cats, stock ones also?

No problems.. a touch louder, a small amount of performance gain.. that's it.
