Decat & O2 sensors

Hey guys,

I'm toying with the idea of getting my rear cat taken out for a bit more burbly sound without spending a grand on an exhaust system that doesn't have the dreaded 2.5k drone. An OG on the forums, MrWhippy, said that it was the best thing he had done for the sound improvement at the pretty price of £200. He talks about it in this thread: https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14291

How will this affect the rear o2 sensors though? I get a CEL occasionally as the car is currently because the rear o2 sensors are on their way out and need replacing - but without the rear cat at all will I just end up with that CEL on 24/7?

I did some searching on here about rear decats but couldn't find much about the o2 sensors.

Cheers
 
I'd be surprised if you didn't get a light, those sensors are there to monitor the effectiveness of the cats, missing cats are an MOT fail now as well, you'd be better off modifying your back box or getting sports cats.
