Header question

So I ordered the obx v2 headers and I heard that you need a 02 sensor simulators so you don't throw any codes .. Can someone chime in and let me know if this is true and where I can get them because when I searched for them I got some sketchy website .. And has anyone done anything to prevent throwing a code without 02 sensor simulators ?

They have two a dual output for cars with two o2 sims after cats and a single output for cars with one o2 sim after cats. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE DUAL OUTPUT. Sorry for the caps not yelling want you to get the right one.

So yes only get one..........

OMG, you still haven't replaced that faulty sim? It's been what... 3 months now?

I swear, you are so freaking lazy.

Plug Foulers, which is a way to extend the secondaries away from y-pipe just enough to bring the signal down within range. Or so goes the theory. It seems a number of people are having success with that approach.

My mechanic was going to go that route when gutting the pre-cats, but I had an O2 sim ready for just such an occasion, so we used it.

What's this inspection stuff you all speak of? All my o2 sensors are tied up under my engine cover and my cel is constantly on. That let's me know my car is running the way it should.
