I don't think it is very likely to cause problems. There's a chance it won't stay hot enough, but I don't know if that is fact or if that's what people claim. As long as the O2 sensor stays the same distance or closer to the engine, you should be ok.

The answer is yes to both of your questions........Just a bit of advice: All removing your CATs will do is cause problems like you are having, there is
NO BENEFIT in removing the CATs.......just my $0.02
