There are a few ways to get around it. The only one worth doing is putting back the cat.

I am running a straight through, no cat. I use one of these and it works good.

I've been floating around here and there, but my computer is fixed (dont know what the problem was but stripped it to bare bone and put it back togther) so I'm back. I was floating around the all motor more than anything.

the simulator will send the signal to the ecu that it is reading properly even thou no sensor is present. so you dont have to worry about the rear o2 unless you simulator goes bad for some odd reason . .
