emissions sticker or state inspection sticker? i dont know about the laws in mass, but in VA, a CEL does not prevent the car from passing state inspection. if you are looking for an emissions sticker, not having cats might put a damper on that.
either way, you will need o2 sensor simulators for the CEL. the vehicle monitors the cats to make sure they are working correctly. the vehicle basically thinks they are not working/knows they are missing, resulting in a CEL. you need the simulators to trick it into thinking they are there/working.
