Default APS 2.5 test pipes ? before purchase

looking at my service manual (z33 2003) It shows 4 o2 sensors. Bank 1 sensor 1, bank1 sensor 2, bank 2 sensor 1 and bank2 sensor 2. Say that 5 times fast.
All the pics I see of the APS test pipes only show one bung hole per TP.
Do you not install the o2 sensors located behind the stock cats because it would be a useless redundant sensor?
If this is the case, will you have a constant check engine light becouse the system will be looking for data from these sensors?
And I know the car won't pass emissions with the TP's installed, but could you put the cats back on when you have to get the car inspected, without any problems?

Thanks

Do I need to cut a second bung hole in each TP for the other 2 o2 sensors, and use the non foulers on these 2 o2S?
