I've been thinking about exhausts lately and had a few questions.
Now I know if you put in a straight pipe or resonated race pipe, etc, then you wont have a cat or an O2 sensor to tell the computer that the cat is functioning properly. From my understanding this is where the O2 sensor fooler comes in, right? It is basically just something that will tell the computer the cat is functioning properly, right? Where do I buy one of these and does anyone have any websites that explain how it is installed and such?
My next question was about emissions. In my state there is no inspection, just the test. With modern cars they don't even use the sniffer, you just roll up and they plug into your computer for the test. My question is, if you have the straight pipe with no cat but have an O2 sensor fooler, does this mean it'll be tricking the computer and I'll essentially pass emissions even though I have no cat?
Any input on this is appreciated. Also I tried some searching online but didn't come up with much, as well as searching on here, so if anyone has any useful links to read I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
