  • all those wth a catco and custom s-pipe look in.

    when you had the new setup installed, did you have a o2 sensor bung made for the new s-pipe, or did you just use a o2 simm..

        I never thought of a sim. I planned on having them put an O2 bung at the end of the cat when they weld it up. But I believe a sim would be better anyway.

          Where did you all get your sim. How much? I think should do this also. I have my Catco coming in the mail. Can you buy just one, cause I know that some packages come with 2 or more. Also, what about emission testing. What exactly do they do? With my last car I just left it at the shop and picked it up when the test was done. Isn't there a visual inspection that I should be concerned about?

                  Some people with headers and a highflow cat get an SES light coming from the 02 sensor. A 02 sim would fix this. Also why go through all the trouble plugging the bung before the cat and making your exhaust shop weld up and make an new bung after the cat when you can simply get a 02 sim and avoid all of this hassle.

                        I didn't take performance or SES into account when I decided on a sim. With my all stainless system, I didn't want anybody welding on it until I can find somebody who welds stainless, with stainless wire. So the sim was my choice only for that reason. Everything is band clamped for now, no welds anywhere. I may even pick up a cheap MIG welder and some stainless wire myself...

                            so let me get this straight - if I get a sim then I won't need a bung. Do you just tie it off somewhere? What about visual insepections for emissions - are they looking for the bung?

                              What does the sim connect to?

                              I thought it connects to the computer. If it doesn't plug right into the comp how is the sim attached?
