I would say that the most problematic thing is that it is possible to wreck the Catalytic converter by doing this. I would hope that the car would go into limp home mode to avoid damage but if not there is a danger of poisoning the convertor as the fuel mix would be letting unburned fuel ignite in the cat.

ok properly this would be a annoying one considering which you may constantly replace one area and it seems to be the different. the main costly area to interchange is the cat converter, the final the thank you to tell if the cat converter is undesirable without paying a tech to look at is is A. do you scent rotten eggs? sounds humorous yet that's the least complicated sign, B. do you hear a noisy damn noise coming from under your motor vehicle? if no longer then it may be basically the o2 sensor. Now if it have been me i might replace the o2 sensor that's the closest to the cat converter, through fact this may be why it pulled codes for the two. could you have o2 sensors till now and after your converter replace the only in front. If that sensor is undesirable, the pc is probably no longer waiting to make sure if the malfunction is coming from the cat converter or the 02 sensor. So in end bypass with the 02 sensor and bypass your hands. sturdy success i wish this helped!`

I would not advise it. The oxygen or lambda sensor is used by the engine to adjust fuel settings so without it the car will not run very well. On top of this the anoying 'check engine' warning light will be illuminated. Many cars, when they detect a fault with a sensor will go into limp home mode which is ok to get you home but not much else. I'm not sure if that applies to all cars though.

well yes you can
but that means the car will be out of closed loop and may damage the cat after time

car all of which cost $$$

yes but if you live where they do emissions testing it will not pass ands the check engine or service engine soon light will stay on

I study physics... and I so desperately wish I could answer your question.
