obd2, you'll need the secondary O2 sensor or else you'll have a CEL I believe.

The short answer is no. The 2nd O2 sensor just tells the ECU that the cat is working properly. Without it, you will have a CEL though. Password JDM sells the bung that you need to weld in to install a seconday O2 sensor, or you could just buy a test pipe that already has the bung in it, all ready to go.
Either way, if you are getting rid of the cat, you'll need to do the non-fouler mod to the secondary O2 sensor. Search for it. I don't feel like explaining it. I've had too many beers for that much typing.
