Default no cats and gas mileage

Hey, I am considering getting headers and an ORY , I currently have a hooker catback. When I first got my car it had no muffler and I noticed a signifigant increase in gas mileage when I put the hooker on. Is my gas mileage going to take a dump if I remove the cats and dont get it tuned or get a MAF translator right away? or is the catback going to provide enough back pressure? or is this a bad idea ?

My highway mileage has dropped a little since LT/ORY. But I'm still on stock tune. Sometimes my LTFTs will almost zero out at cruise, other times they may go to +5.
