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 like to know this as well.

when they plug into the obdii port to check the car out will they find the rear 02s turned off?

ive got O2 sims they worked great till i got the tune to delete

and its not so much that they delete them they just tell system nvr to throw them

when inspected it just checks to see if ecu is throwing them so its fine to get tuned out

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...
