There's no real functional difference between primary and secondary. Primary is monitored by the ECU, secondary is just a redundant backup. Technically, both are required by federal regulations to remain OEM and intact for the life of the warranty which is 8 years or 80k miles as they are part of the emissions control system.

I'm mainly trying to a) Not have a CEL and b) Not mess up my car by my ECU trying to correct the air\fuel ratio based on the o2 readings. Maybe I can have the shop cut the factory cat out of my header and put it in my front-pipe? Just kidding (kind of) but I really want to figure this out.
