NO...lack of cats and the associated SES light has no affect on the running condition of the engine.

with a lack of back pressure there is a possibility of increased mileage

I got better highway and city mileage, the highway mileage is above 30 now with the LT's and ORY, but I don't know that this is because of the exhaust specifically and not the tune I got done. I did notice a slight improvement in city mileage and a good (4-5 mph) improvement in highway mileage. I think it's going to vary based on the tune you get.

I live in Texas. I was wondering if i get rid of the cats and put a off road pipe could i pass the emissions test if they did not look and see that i did not have cats?

If they have a sniffer test, then i'd imagine it would pick up the higher emissions and then they'd see that you're missing cats.
