Exclamation catless y pipe "check engine"

I am putting a ORY with longtubes on my 02 Z28, does anybody know how to "plug" the sensors or anything so that the computer thinks that the CATS are there?

You can either buy 02 simulators or just have the emissions codes tuned out.

I had my car dyno tuned and he turned them off no check engine light and no codes when hooked up to a scanner

contact speed inc, you can send them your ecu and they can do a basic tune for you that will turn them off

Get the codes tuned out and have the monitors changed to unsupported. Simulators are too finicky for what you pay for them - and to have the light come on anyways (happens more and more as time goes on) ends up being a big waste.

Simulators have been known to fail, do it right and get it tuned.
