yes Fastbikes76 gutted his cats, and fitted additional plates that threaded into the exhaust before the O2 sensors, to fool the sensors into thinking that everything was fine.

pointless, just un-couple the sensors and put on the shelf. Then turn off the DTC processing in the tune.
Spending any money on anything else is just a waste.

Fine if you have the programming capability - and I realise it will do a lot more, but it's a big cost if you're not going to learn how to tune your engine as well.

Depends what hassle and cost the alternative is.
Plenty about can do it for the license cost so need stump up the cost the whole unit.
