Default Should've gotten o2 Simms?

Hey everyone,

I'm uber PUMPED as I ordered my Pacesetter coated LT's, TSP ORY, and Magnaflow catback today.

I got the race w/ no egr, and ordered the front o2 extensions, and Jon at TSP said that the rear o2 simms are entirely optional, that without them I'll have a check engine light, with them no ses light.

Should I call em' back up and add the o2 simms to my order?

Later this summer I will be buying a nitrous kit and then getting the LS1Edit tune etc. I know that the guys at ESP can delete the code and just plug the rear o2 holes.

What do you recommend?

Thanks

Your over it. Just live with the light until you get it tuned out.

So it has no effect on performance, it just negates the ses light?

Yeah basically. I mean the o2 are useless cause the cats are gone. Just got to deal with the light being on is all.

I've got two brand new for $75 shipped if you want them. Never been out of the package.

live with the light, or get them tuned out. the simms are just expensive resistors.

have to agree with the others, the only thing is if you throw another light because something is wrong you wont know. I have the simms, and they're not supposed to last for ever anyway. Rumor is they'll burn out from heat exposure. Purely optional.
