Theres usually a oxygen sensor around or even inside the cat so when you remove the cat it causes codes to be sent to your computer and your check engine light will come on. That's the only effect it has on the sensor.

Will removing catalytic converter have negative effects on an engine?
As far as the environment is concerned, yes. Catalytic converters are very important in regulating the amount of pollution your vehicle emits. As far as vehicle performance, removing a catalytic converter could increase horsepower and exhaust flow. Removing the converter can (and does on most) cause the computer to over-correct for the improper oxygen sensor readings. This over-correction usually causes a reduction in power, economy, and running performance. It is also highly illegal.
