Good luck and enjoy 
Run away from those shops and never look back, honest shops are hard to find this days, but there are out there, hope you find somebody you can trust.

Just out of curiosity, if you do not live in a state that does emissions testing, other than the codes showing up. What issues will come from not having the CAT's installed?

If so, asides from having a louder exhaust, you'll have a strong gas smell at all times, and if you don't want to see the DTC light everytime the engine is running, you'll need tuning to disable the DTC codes/cat test procedures in the pcm calibration.

it can take up to 100 miles for your O2 sensors to get to the ready status. So, just because you light is not on and your codes not reflecting anything, doesn't mean you are out of the woodwork. Give it a week and then you will know if you are good to go.

After replacing the downstream o2 sensor and pulling the battery, check engine light is off. I just remembered my superchips can show/clear codes.
Ran the scanner and p0430 is not showing up! Pretty sure the $25 02 sensor solved my check engine light after 3 shops told me to replace the cat (1 shop told me to try the 02 sensors first)
Thanks a lot for all your help guys, I really appreciate it. Now to head back to the inspection station......
