Default 02 sensor simulator help

My Trans am does not have cats so I know that I need 02 sensor simulators. or else I am not going to pass emissions. But I don't know much about them... are either of these two things what I need? Is that all I need? Is there a difference in quality? I heard from some one that are like 85 dollars so these seem too cheap be what I actually need. Any help is appreciated. thanks

I dont know what kind of emission test you have there but here in Ohio They do a visual inspection along with an OBD test. you might want to look into it.

the o2 simulator tricks the computer making it think the cats are working properly once you plug them in and tie them up it will turn off your ses light yes they are 85 to 100 for a pair ws6store has them

For what sims cost you have about paid for a mail order tune.
As for the visual remember that blind people need to eat too.

^ +1 the cost of a o2 sims would cover most of the cost of a mail order tune.
