Pick one:

1) Put on highflow cats
2) Tune it out the 02 codes it's causing using software (LS1edit, HPTuners etc.)
3) Disconnect the rear 02 sensors and plug in 02 simms

I agree with above although some High flow cats will still throw your SES light.

How do i tune out the 02 codes, what are 02 simms?

O2 sims are O2 simulators. they mimic the voltage feedback that the o2's would send back to your computer. These are only good for the POST cat. o2's. they plug into the harness that your o2s go into. look to see if one of the sponsors sells them if not do a internet search, should run you about 100 buck i believe.

Same question here, do we just find someone with a OBDII that can erase the codes for the converters cause I can pass emissions cause it keeps throwing the check engine code and my cats are just fine. Sorry for the jump in but my question is very similiar....

baso=ically yes, you need someone with a scantool to erase codes, or disconnect the battery, but then PCM would need to relearn all strategy and readjust to your stile of driving.however, just erasing codes would not do any good, especially if its cats - the light would go back on as soon as you turn the key on and PCM run a monitor on cats and it fails.you will need 3 consecutive trips with monitor ready to clear the code. how about O2??you sure they are not the cause?sometimes rear O2 can cause code for cats
