Pre-Cat Discussion

Hoping to get some advice and opinions on that taboo topic of Pre-Cats please.

I still own a 2000 Spyder and have never done my precats nor have I had any issues.

Noting this, should I still get someone to gut them? And does anyone in Sydney provide this service or is anyone here experienced enough to do it for me?

Also I have read that if the precats are gone, the CEL will stay on permanently. Is this true because it would annoy me no end to have a red light in my dash all the time.

Thoughts?
