You will not throw a code. These cars do not have rear 02's so you don't anything to worry about other than hurting mother nature.

A buddy of mine had an 89 RS, and he gutted his cat and his engine light came on so thats why I was wondering. Thanks.

It will not cause a SES light. But do not just gut it and put it back on. Run a straight pipe through it.
