Have a 2003 cobra I have bassani catted x pipe now and I just picked up a off road x pipe. The pipe came with all the sensor holes and everything for installation. Will my check engine light turn on with out the cats?

If your rear o2's have not been turned off in the tune, it should/will turn the light on for cat deficiency. It's pretty common to disable them though, so it's a gamble.

I have longtubes and no cats...

all o2s are on and I never had issue with them..

I do have a predator performance tune ...

when I first installed them I read you need to turn them off and use eliminators but that caused check engine light..

You have 2 options,

1, turn off rear 02's with a tune. This might make you fail inspection, all depends on your inspection requirements.

2, buy MIL eliminators that plug into rear o2's and will keep your check engine light off.

Pretty sure in NY your allowed to have 2 monitors off. I "Pass" inspection with the rears off. I've heard a lot of people having issues with the new inspection rules but haven't myself yet.
