I just bought a new bike with a cat and I don't plan on spending a ton of money to remove it and re tune mine either. I really don't believe it will shorten the life of the motor any. The cat is just behind the motor under the trans. anyway so all the extra heat should be going to the rear and away from the bike except when idling. The 103 has an oil cooler to help dissapate engine heat too. This is just my non scientific real world oppinion.
 
There is absolutely nothing wrong with leaving your bike stock and riding the crap out of it.

In stock form the bike is basically choked off and run lean to pass EPA emmission standards. Most will open the bike up with a free flowing air cleaner and a better flowing exhaust ( no cat ) and a tune. The bike will be less restricted and then will run cooler and have a little more horsepower.

It's all a matter of personal preference.
 
Yes leave it alone and ride it for at least a year. You change the pipes then the a/c then a tuner trying to get more power out of it then you ride it at the speed limit and cant hear for days after
 
Don't worry about the heat, no big. I've got my stock Street Performance duals on my 2010 103 Stage II. I'll wave bye bye to the loud pipe crowd. Do what you want.
