Is anybody running 02 simulators post catalytic converter?(with cat gone? Just soposing it decided to remove itself and walk away with no human intervention) I know these send the ECM 'good' readings to keep the ck. eng. lamp off, but I have also heard they can cause other errors if they f-up. If they are a waste of money I can live with the lamp. (On this hypothetical car)

the problem is, if the computer dont get a good code, it puts you in limp mode. And you know what kind of problem being limp can be when your ready for a ride !!!

If you were to remove the cat, you need (4) sims for the computer to understand.

Simulator Stimulators are allways fun.. gotta have "Variety" .. LMFAO... :willy: arty:

nope, they are there for emissions mostly, but when removing them, the car gets 200% louder, and you need O2 simulators so the computer thinks they are still there. as for what goes in their place, a straight pipe welded in from a muffler shop.

:agree to cap the noise you can also have glasspacks installed .. it will help a tad..

Why 4? Thefront 2(pre cat) will still manage the engine.The simulated rear ones will be needed for a fake "emissions are O.K. right now" signal.

Thank you Uncle Mike! :cool

 

[Guest]

your welcome.

What kind of power increases result in the removal of the cat? Is it worth the extra noise?

[Guest]

nope! You get MAYBE 5-7hp from it.

I think it depends on the type of vehicle and cat design. I (hypothetically) took the cat off of my 2.2 Sonoma, and it made a noticable diffrence. Did add a mild backfire, though. EVERYBODY on the road NEW what a torque monster I was driving!

 

[Guest]

its all in your mind. the louder noise makes you think its faster when its really not.
