How do you know I don't like 02 simulators? Invalid assumption. I would not recommend using one for street use but for off-road they work fine and a good alternative, especially if you have an exhaust cutout or uncap the headers. The purpose of the rear 02 sensor is to let you know that CAT convertor is working properly or not. Although having a simulator installed will probably not cause a fail on state emissions requirements a bad CAT will. Nothing worse then getting caught off guard and finding out you cannot pass emissions.

I ran a simulator for a few years on my GTP but I no longer need one because my Intense PCM is programmed with the option to disregard the rear 02 sensor and any possible DTC like P0420.

Also, you can get genuine AC Delco 02 sensors on Ebay for around $35. The 02 simulators go for around $29.99 plus shipping. If there is nothing wrong with his rear 02 sensor then the best thing to do is use it and keep the configuration stock less the ubend and resonator delete.

Re: U-Bend?

hey bob sorry about the mis-interpertation. when i read this

Unless you plan on wasting money for a 02 simulator or like getting a SES light and P0420 DTC

i kinda thought you were against them. sorry fortunately i dont keep a car long enough to have to worry about emissions. i keep it for about 5 months then i resell it for more then i bought it for but i think i might just run this GTP into the ground my girlfriend told me she would pay for the u-bend and res. delete for christmas for me. so thats cool lol. so im kinda glad im getting all these opinions on the topic
