I've had my O/R H for a while now with no Mil Eliminators. The check engine light has been on for a while. Doesnt really bother me, but does is effect the performance of the car in any way?

It does not affect performance, and before anyone says it, it does not put the car into limp mode.
i heard it messes up the air/fuel ratio of the car, thats where the MILs come into play...plus i got em just in case i actually need the service engine light...for ex. if it comes on first thing to come to mind is duh o2 sensors, but if thats not it,then you will know if something else is wrong with the car..02

all the rear 02 sensors do is tell the computer if the cats are working... if they arent then it throws a code saying "catalytic effiency below threshold" or soemthing like that... my car has the CEL on right now and i just got 24mpg driving 80 w/ slow downs to 60 and up to nearly 100 a few times... so its not going to cause any problems... i think what people are donig is screwing up their FRONT 02 sensors which WILL throw the car into limp mode...just be carefull when you take them out and put them back in.
I drove my car around for a couple weeks with no mils after installing my O/R H before the light even came on. No difference in performance with the light on or off. I ended up going the cheap route. I found a thread on here about making homemade MILS. Bought the parts from Radio shack for like $10 and made them myself. Worked like a charm. Here is the link with instructions I got from the other thread if you want to try it. http://www.cougardb.com/howtoshow.php?howtoid=8
