After you gut them, you will throw a few codes for low catalyst or efficency.

Yep.. Mine does..

**ldanny** · 01-13-2008, 06:43 PM

sense they are the back 2 sensors that will be throwing the code it wont effect the air to fuel mixture right. how do you get the light off

**ss~zoso~ss** · 01-13-2008, 06:44 PM

o2 simulators, google it

**JoshieDoom** · 01-13-2008, 06:46 PM

ive heard the sims went bad due to near exhaust heat... just get it tuned out.. sims are 99 bucks from the ws6 store tho...

**ldanny** · 01-13-2008, 06:51 PM

so basically o2 sims just block the sensors from sending a code to the computer

**JoshieDoom** · 01-13-2008, 06:56 PM

you can say that

i think ill just wait till i get headers and full exhaust then tune it all at once

**JoshieDoom** · 01-13-2008, 07:05 PM

Good idea... mine is a daily driver so i cant really do anything to it unless its gonna be a quick fix...headers have to wait... ive been driving around a while with the 02 codes... its just annoying...

**ldanny** · 01-13-2008, 07:07 PM

yeah whick o2's are they the front or back

**JoshieDoom** · 01-13-2008, 07:08 PM

the front regulate the mixture of air/fuel.. you get rid of those im pretty sure your not gonna be happy...the rears make sure the cat is there/functioning...

**ldanny** · 01-13-2008, 07:23 PM

no i meant what your code that you were throwing was you said your light was on

**JoshieDoom** · 01-13-2008, 07:25 PM

p0420 p0430 left and right 02 sensors... rear..

**ldanny** · 01-13-2008, 07:32 PM

oh ok so uve already gutted your cats

**JoshieDoom** · 01-13-2008, 07:33 PM

The previous owner gutten the left cat and removed the right cat... works fine.. runs great.. sounds great..

**ldanny** · 01-13-2008, 07:37 PM

yeah i bet. i heard they r much louder when u gut them. so im gussing your waiting until u have 2 get it inspected to tune it?

**JoshieDoom** · 01-13-2008, 07:40 PM

No inspection here. just about get away with anything.. even murder.. no joke...
but Im gonna have a pipe welded in instead of the gutten cat and get the EGR and AIR system tuned out as well. As for loudness.. when i cut the cat off my truck it made the sound a lot deeper.. not much louder tho...depends on the muffler i guess...

**ldanny** · 01-13-2008, 07:43 PM

hey so do u no how you can tell if you already have an o2 sim

**JoshieDoom** · 01-13-2008, 07:45 PM

alright.. me confused...!
you dont have to the rear o2s to function and drive
02 sims just get the light off... they plug into the harness where the 02 harness would go...

thats all...

hah
