I put ~2000 miles on mine unplugged when I had no money to fix a header leak before the O2 sensor that was killing performance. car instantly drove better.

i see u found the problem i told u it probably was....dont drive to long on it with out the sensors...save up some money get the sensors or sensor since usually only one fails rather then two but at the time of replacing the sensors replace all ur plugs too since they will be fouled out....

You can drive without o2s just fine, but your gas mileage will suck, so it will save you money pretty quick to just put in new ones.
