Default deleting cats

For people who have deleted the cats from the exhaust, have you used O2 sensor simulators to stop the CEL from popping up or just put up with the CEL?



Thanks,
Tim

I had purchased O2 simulators but I was getting codes. I removed the sims and have been good since. I am running AAM test pipes that already have the spacers for the O2 sensors.

The HR is known to be very finicky with O2 sensors.

I'm pretty sure you can't turn the o2 sensors off anymore in uprev Osiris, which is the most common tuning solution for folks staying n/a.

I used Berk test pipes. They have the "built-in" spacer. The CEL comes on every 8k miles or so. I clear it with Torque App and it doesn't bother me for a few more months.
