Default O2 Sim. reccomendation.

I'm purchasing some O2 sims for my rear O2's and I was wondering if anyone can refer me to a good brand.

I'm not %100 sure on where to look, I did find this website of google and they really seem legit.

http://www.o2simulator.com/index.php...products_id=10

Any opinions?

Thanks very much,
Kyle

Yeah..Casper's got shut the **** down for selling them. They're illegal.
Your best bet is to get the car tuned & have the rears shut off in the computer.
Technichally illegal but much easier to get away with.

x2 the o2 sims have a tendency to fail, even though there are a lucky few out there that haven't yet... better off just to get the code deleted when you get it tuned. it won't fail.

If you can live with a check light then save the money until such time you get them turned off.

Well I just had my car tuned and the trip to my tuner is about an hour

Plus I think I'm charged for a re-tune, but I'm not sure.

As soon as I get an LS6 intake and longtubes I will be getting a retune.

But I think the sims will be a good temp fix for a few months till I can get a tune.

ALSO, will I fail with the rear O2's turned off?

I would definately hold out and what for the chance to tune them out of the pcm. Ive bought O2 sims in the past and they worked for a little while but fouled up and they almost cost as much as I paid to have them edited out of my pcm. A few shops locally charge 25.00 per code to tune out...
