O2 sensor with Catless Midpipe

Hey guys,

I know many of you are running a catless midpipe on the forums, and I just ordered mine. I was wondering what you guys were doing in order to prevent throwing CEL once you plug the O2 sensor into the catless midpipe..? Or are you seeing it and just ignoring it?

I tried ordering an O2 simulator from RP but they said that they don't carry them anymore because of a hit/miss situation with their chances of working..

I guess im just looking for idea's as to what different people have done to deal with it!

Fabulous, this bring up my second question. I already have an OBD-II setup with my car computer. Any way of using that setup to flash my ECU instead of buying an AccessPORT?

^yeah you can do that, but your CEL will eventually come back on, thus resulting in you having to clearing it again...im running catless and the CEL went off for a couple of months then came back on, and its been on since then

So your saying that I can use AccessPORT maps to flash my ECU using a computer running Windows XP, and not using the COBB AccessPORT ?
