    if I put headers without a cat I know it will throw a code but can I ride around for a while without a tune? How bad will it hurt?

    MPG will go to **** and you'll foul the plugs out sooner but it won't kill it if you do it for a little while
    No More GTP for me.

    all cats are usable with headers. you just have to make sure the pipe sizing is right. have you installed the speeddaddy's yet? and what year is your car?

    i drove around 4 months with no cat, and a CEL to go with it, and neither my city or highway mpgs were affected.

    You will get the catalyst efficiency code if the rear O2 sensor is there and the cat is gone. If you remove the rear O2 sensor, that is where you will end up running rich in the 01+.
