And they are your cats, not his, he can't charge you a core for your parts if he is just replacing them with pipe.

you can do anything you want after the downstream O2 sensor without throwing a CEL.

You can do either, just the pre cats will be louder than the rears and it is alot easier to weld in pipe for the rears than to do it for the pre-cats. I left the pre-cats and cut the rears.
