I only have one rear cat, so I can’t speak to your vehicle specifically. However if you’re getting a direct fit MagnaFlow replacement cat, like I got for my Y-Pipe (see my parts list), then you shouldn’t have any issues with CEL. The direct-fits are made to be replacement OEM parts, and will have the O2 sensor bung included if necessary. MF should make a bolt-on replacement cat for your vehicle that’s NY compliant if you check their site.
If you did universal cats you would probably need the O2 sensor bungs welded on as well. I wouldn’t worry about the quality of the weld job as a factor. If an exhaust shop with good reviews couldn’t weld exhaust pipe, they probably wouldn’t be in business.

Yeah you would have to leave it there. Drop it off the day before, so vehicle is cold in the morning. I was fortunate enough to have a friend follow me both times, so I didn’t have to do a $70 Uber. Overall took 5 days if you include day I dropped off and day I picked up. Also like I had mentioned in an earlier post on this thread, the DT ST had quite the fitment issues. I believe the job ended up being more difficult and time consuming than expected.
