with a test pipe you are going to throw a code whether the o2 sensor is in the pipe or not. To eliminate the code you will need a o2sim. the cat 02 sensor does nothing for engine operation so its not going to cause misfiring, mpg decrease, etc.

i kno a bad o2 causes a misfiring so i figure it would do the same if there wasnt 1 being used at all for the test pipe.

The only purpose of the catalytic converter o2 sensor is to check if your cat is good. So with a testpipe the o2 sensor for the cat is going to tell your car that the cat is broken and throw a code. So you will get a code either way. Also, only the o2 sensors on the ypipe affect how your engine runs.

If you really dont want a code and you get a test pipe, you will need an o2sim, no matter where your o2 sensor is.
