If you don't put cats in, you will throw a code because the rear O2 sensors will either not be plugged in or will sesnse that something is wrong. To fix this, you can either buy O2 Simms or use tuning to disable the codes from coming on.

With the MAF ends you shouldn't be throwing a code, but everything is possible. Go to an AutoZone nearby and have the code read.

I am running headers with no cats and have the 02 sims. No codes yet. You think the MAF is throwing it the have the code pulled.
