they turn off your cel. because if you get a o/r pipe you wont have any cats and you will throw a code. eaither need mil eliminators or a tuner. so yes, if you get a o/r pipe you need mil eliminators.

Yea any handheld tuner would be able to turn it off. Either the SCT Xcal 2 or the Diablo Predator... I would have to say the SCT is more popular (and many say the better of the two). Also if you were getting a dyno tune for some reason, any professional tuner could turn off the sensors in a heartbeat.

I would stay away for the MILs, they are very unreliable and flat out suck. I have them, and they didn't work, which is common. I finally got an SCT tuner to fix my sensor problems.

Most people will reccomend the SCT Xcal 2. Another good choice is the Diablo Predator. If you ever plan to get dyno tuned in the future, look into a performance shop around your area that you will use, and buy the same tuner that they tune with. i.e. if they tune with SCT, buy the Xcal2, if they use Diablo, get the Predator.. it will save you money later if you ever dyno tune. Both of them can be had for like $350-370 with the discount code from american muscle. Or, I believe it is Brenspeed that offers a custom performance tune for free when you order an SCT Xcal2 from them. Look into them.. it's either them or MPH, both are great tuners, but I believe that it's Brenspeed. Tuners will also give you the ability to change rear end ratios, bump timing, etc..

Fixing the sensors is the only problem that occurs with having an o/r x right? I mean besides like leak, smell ect.

Yes sir. And for the record it's MPH who offers a custom performance tune with the Xcal 2. I believe its "Tim's" tune. [sm=smiley20.gif]

I remember someone saying that using a tuner to get rid of the CEL didn't solve the problem when they went to get inspected. I believe he said the mechanic said that a code had been "cleared" but the problem had not been resolved therefore he couldn't pass the car. Basically the tuner made the light in the dash go away and did not eliminate the problem in the computer. Is this uncommon when using a tuner to get rid of CELs or did the guy do something wrong or what?
