Default no cat

I have removed my cat on my truck and the service engine lite came on as i thought .Is there any trick to making it not come on at all?

Just put some O2 simulators in there and it should fix the problem.

Only the rear 02 sensor can be simmed. The front one controls your fuel mixture.
