Default Are all MIL Elminators created equally?

As I wait for my Prochamber to be shipped from MAC, I realize I gotta find myself a pair of MIL elminators to get rid of the pesky "Service Engine Soon" light for the o2 sensors. Wow, they are certainly expensive! http://www.ninosport.com/MIL-Elimina...mp;category=86 $59.95? Jeez. Are these supposedely better than the others ones on the market? I see some on ebay for $7 a pop. Is there a Mustangforums code for Ninos to make it cheaper?

Thanks!

The more expensive MIL eliminators usually get you plug n' play capability, the lesser expensive ones require that you do some splicing...[/align][/align]For less than $5 you can make your own...[/align][/align][/align]

Wow that's cheap but I think I will go w/ the plug and play ones, just to make it easier when I get it installed. Where can I find the Steeda MIL Elminators, I hear those are the best.

I see. Well these look to be as good and are around the same price as the Steedas so I may go w/ this http://www.ninosport.com/MIL-Elimina...mp;category=86
, since they have the midpipe Ford gasket as well., might as well shop at 1 place.

The connectors are the expensive part--inside there's a resistor and a tantalum cap.[/align][/align]I made 100plug n' play "Big Red" starter buttons forMiatas a few years back and the damned connectors cost me over $45 a set...[/align]

Is there any way to pass emissions with those if they only plug into OBDII for emissions and no sniffer ?

MIL eliminators should do it, if you look at the oscillscope tracesbelow you'll see that the RC filter circuit of the eliminator produces a simulated :gee whiz, the catalytic converter id doing what it's supposed to" for the PCM--the PCM doesn't know that there are no cats and doesn't throw a MIL because of that.[/align][/align][/align][/align]Now if they look under the car and don't see cats, that's a different story...[/align]
