does anyone else have one on their car? if you do, what do you think of it? one my my main concerns is the check engine light. is there any way to do something to the o2 sensor to trick it or something so the chenk engine light doesnt come on? or would it not come on anyways? thanks

Very good question. My mechanic friend said the O2 sensor after the Cat compares the exhaust to the reading from the previous O2 sensor. If it detects the Cat is not filtering the air-it may trip the check engine light.

all you need to do is tap in a thread for the O2 sensor and you'll be fine.

alright then..

if the second O2 sensor compares it from the reading of the first O2 sensor, can you mask the second O2 sensor with like tape or smuther it with glue so it can get a true reading. if you do do this some how, wouldnt it make the second O2 sensor reading get the intentions that the air passing through it is perfectly clean since it wont actually get a readin at all? or am i totally off, please correct me someone.

I have a test pipe. I like it, it does add some power. I get MIL code for it every now and then. I reset the code and no problema! Some others have not had any problems with MIL codes. So my advice is try it and see what happens. Their are ways to trick the O2, I cant rember them. Do some internet searches and you will find them.
