Where can I get O2 Sims at? I've been lookin around, I saw them on summitracing.com for sale a couple months ago, but can't find them again. I know they aren't street legal, but I have an offroad x-pipe and I'm sick and tired of my check engine light being on. I'm not gonna sacrifice the power loss/awesome sound and get cats. So.....anyone know where to buy them? (For a half decent price of course). Thanks.

Tim

Check out American Muscle:

Mustang Plug-in MIL Eliminators at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

or, if you have any electrical skills at all, make your own by tapping two wires on the rear O2 sensors (signal and ground) and adding a low-pass filter with a 1M resistor and a 1uF capacitor.

Thanks trinity, guess I was searching "sims" instead of "eliminators". Much appreciated.

or you can get sick of failing emmissions even though the cars pass to standard without cats on the sniffer, and just suck it up and get some high flows. I got a high flow X pipe on ebay with one tiny cat on each side, still sounds great and passes. I swear the cats are probly hollowed anyway.

Twete I wish I could have that choice to live somewhere without emissions, unfortunately I'm at the mercy of the government where I live haha.

Screamin GT, I'll eventually get high flows I'm sure, just tryin to spend less right now so that I can get wheels and few other items. Just waitin on that tax return.

Thanks for the replys guys.

This thread got my attention because I'm looking to get rid of the CEL on my girls 98 GT Vert. Even though I had a BBK X pipe with high flow cats put on the CEL comes on because of the effeciency.

Not looking to thread jack here...

Should the ECU be programmed to recognize the high flow cats? If so...does anyone know where I can take it in CT?

The PCM can be programmed to "turn off" the rear O2 sensors or you can get the MIL to filter the rear O2 sensor to make the PCM think the cats are operating properly.

Got the eliminators in, had a little trouble cuz one of the connections had a different alignment pattern than the other, but I trimmed some plastic and got it to work. Check engine light is OFF finally and it's runnin good. Just waiting on the rims to show up now. Pics to come soon. Thanks to everyone for their replies.

I suffered from the CEL blues myself until my buddy told me about O2 Spacers! got them on ebay for like $3 bucks and screwed them in, instant clear dash and passed emissions in NYS. what they do is basically screw into your h-pipe or x - pipe and then screw in your O2 sensor, the spacers will pull the sensor out of the pipe just enough to give false reading.
im running shorty headers, o/r H-pipe. No CEL . I had BBK MIL on there before the spacers and CEL was still on. spacers are the way to go for all CEL issues with exhaust.
