Yes, that's true. The non-foulers may prevent a code, but it doesn't change what comes out of your exhaust pipes.

I drove for weeks with no cats, and my o2's were on, no light ever.
Then I had Brenspeed send me an updated tune to turn them off just for the sake, and it was free since I bought the O/R H from them.
My original tune was from 05 for CAI only and that was before all his tunes automatically came with the o2's turned off even if it was just for a CAI.
I'd put $50 on you will pass. If you dont, Ill come help install the cats, lol.
Let us know!
When did you purchase your stang? 10/14/05 here and no notice for testing yet. Not suppose to be until it hits 4 years for new cars. Then ever other year.

Sounds like I make out either way on that deal, I'll take it! I purchased my car on 5/2/2008 from Carmax with 2,600mi. on it. I think you get a little extra time if you are the original owner of the car.

That and a few more not ready's. Evap system wont run until it gets a reading from the o2's. I think I had 4 not ready when I took a peek last year.
You are allowed 1 not ready. It was 2, but I think it went down to 1, and maybe even now none. Im not in the retail of the repair industry any more so Im not sure. But I still have my access to the web site for info.
.....
Ok, after taking a look, heres the info
1996 -2000 are allowed 2 non-continous monitors not ready and 2001 and newer must have all but one non-continous monitor not ready. Unless there is a cat code, the cat monitor does not have to be ready.

Send me your VIN or plate I can pull this info
Lol, test by date 01/1900, Im a little late.
