You will need O2 sims or new tuning to make your SES light go out. (to pass emissions, if you need to)

Why do you want to do that? Your LS1 is going to sound like complete A$$ through that Borla if you do remove them. Talk about nasty rasp...

Unless you strictly want to do this for a little extra horsepower at the track or don't actually mind driving around a sweet ride that will sound like that, I'd strongly recommend you just keep them on there and do something else...
