YES you will.

You may get some emissions DTCs but it should still be driveable.

You will lose some engine efficiency and the PE AFRs may be a little rich. I wouldnt hammer on it untill its properly tuned.

I had a "Check Engine" light from the 02 sensors located downstream of the catalytic converters before I had them tuned out.
