I want to take off my cat on my 96 bird and get a scrambler or delete the rear o2 codes. if i did take it off would it mess with the front o2 sensor? would a high flow cat be better? if so, or not, where is a good place to get a REASONABLE priced one?

well when my cat is on a bird, i usally pick the cat up and throw him lol, now to get back to cars on 96 i think there is a 02 sensor either on or after the cat right? if so there are by pass things you can buy from jegs so the o2 sencer gets a reading.

yes, my car has one before and after the cat. ive seen the sensor things but if i take the cat off then will it somehow mess with the first o2 sensor, throwing the reading off? or will it not do anything

no, if you get that by pass thing for the second, it will not mess with the first one.

can't you just splice them together so they are getting a conection all the time?

i dont know.....you would think that it would still mess with the computer by not recieving a reading. but im not sure. I ended up just buying one of those that you have to splice in. One of those universal fits. I hope it works, i got it from jegs.

i got my cat taken off yesterday but now i got another question. do i even need the o2 sim if it doesn't throw the check engine light? cuz i drove it a total of 60 miles yesterday after i got my cat taken off and it didn't seem to do anything. should i stick on the sim anyway, just in case its dumping too much gas or anything like that and its just not showing?
