You have to get a tune to fix it.
Cheapest way is a mail order tune.

First, search before you do anything.

Then, if you somehow manage to lack the mental capacity to find your answer by that (Which obviously you do), check the FAQs at the top of each section.

If that fails, well you have to be pretty freaking stupid to fail at those, then post it in the forums.

But, post it in the RIGHT section, not the one labeled Advanced Performance Tech. Because your question isn't advanced, it is not related to performance, and it is not technical. Then be prepared to take the **** that you'll get for asking, a) a question that's common sense, and b) for not searching/reading the FAQs before posting, and finally c) posting in the wrong section.

This forum isn't that hard to figure out. However I'll answer your question anyways. Put the cats back in. You didn't gain any power if they were in good shape to begin with, all you did was make your car run even less efficient than it was to begin with, make it smell for the first 10-15 minutes after a cold start, and made it not legal for street use. And if you don't care and really want to believe that you made the car better, unplug the SES light, doing that would be right in line with the other crap you've done so far. Congratulations, maybe you should go on Jeopardy.

the cheepest way is to buy some $5 or $10 parts at autozone and screw them into your exhaust where the rear 02's go in, then put your 02's into them... they space out the 02's sensors (in the rear) from the exhaust so it reads clean.

you would prolly have to search it to find the part number.

your other option is to buy some 02 sims for the rear (about 60 bucks)

or have your rear 02's tuned out

I say, we do something highly original.

Make them look like EVERY other post here on LS1Tech. Stickied, but not bold, not 159.24 font, etc. Then, change the title to "Fully nude models on LS1Tech's nicest F-bodies". But keep the content the same as before.

Damn that was harsh. But this thread has no business in the section anyway.

Wow...a lot of anger in this thread.

SES light is because of rear O2s. Get some sims or a tune.
