cat converter removal

[yakdick]

i'm planning on bending new mid pipes for my 04 rc to get rid of the cats... i have o2 similators that wires into the rear o2 sensors but instead of doin that can the dodge dealership reprogram the pcm to ignore the rear o2 sensors? or maybe a programmer that does that?

i took mine out and bought sensors on my 06 (I never had to install them through). I havent got an engine light in a year, and mine are just ziplocked and tied/tucked out of the way. maybe 04 are diff though.

save your time and money and just buy the custom made midpipes with O2simulators for the very low price this month.

I built my own and in the end would have been better off buying them

ya i thought about getting those but for 50 bucks worth of pipe and it shouldn't take much more than a hour to do the job i thought i'd just bend them up today....i just don't want a check engine light coming on ....

a dealer will not do that ,,just tie them up with o2 still plugged in ,,you could geta tuner to do it ,,but why waste the money ,,

do you guys leave the sensor out in the open or wrap the sensor up to keep dirt and crap out? i wrapped mine up and the check engine light came on right away
