You can just do downpipes but will get better performance if you do software and an exhaust.

You will get O2 error codes if you install the downpipes (and suppress pre-catalysts) without at least a downpipe fix (which is a device tricking the O2 sensors into thinking that there are catalysts installed). There is a downpipe fix available from BMS, but it needs to be installed in the ECU compartment.
