Default O2 Sensor ? and unique exhaust system

So finally got the car up on stands and began the H/C/I header install underway.

Here is the exh that was on the car:



The mufflers are Magnaflow. I think the X is as well. Cat back is a Borla stinger with the 2 tips.
Looks to be custom, I don't see this in the Magnaflow catalog. Just the X-pipe.

Sounded quite good.

So question about the rear O2 sensors. When you put on a system with no cats, and it has provisions for rear O2 sensors, what do they do? Will they function correctly w/o cats?
The ones I removed look pretty sad, and they were tuned out when I got the car. So I have no clue if they are still functional.

My car looks good underneath. First time I've seen under there. Nice to know it never got driven over something bad. Lot's of cleaning to do though. I'm **** that way.

Just have your tuner delete the rear 02's. They are only there to report catalytic efficiency.

I can do that myself. I have HPT. I'll get some plugs for the O2 ports.
Thanks.
