   How do these affect the running of my VTR? one fell off ( after the cat ) along with the rest of the exhaust tonight and the car doesnt seem to be running differently. So am i missing something or is it unnessacery?.
   
   Thanks

   it adjusts your air/fueling . . . doesnt make a massive difference, but could cause EML light to come on.

   The one after the cat is just an emissions test. It will bring the light up on the dash but wont effect running or emisisons the precat one on the other hand will cause issues if it fails

   Having an incomplete exhaust will effect how it runs on its own

   The lambda after the cat senses if the cat works by checking the air is clean enough. It won't make your car run any different by not being there. Eml will come on. Sleeve the lambda to extinguish the Eml if it's offending you.
