none...all they do is let you know if your converters are not working properly. they wont be able to tell that your rear 02's are tuned out, but they will be able to tell if they are not there. plug them in but delete them for the visual part of the inspection.

if you are removing the cats, then you have to turn off the code or it will show the SES light because the PCM thinks the cats arent working right. If you must keep the cats then its no difference if you tune them out or leave them there.

Leave them in, if you're keeping your cats, they will tell you if you're cats aren't working.
