I used to be into Audi's and I remember them doing this. It is so they dont foul out and throw codes. I dont know why you would need them on the front and the rears can be tuned out so easilly

If this works i would think it would be the cheapest option. a tune costs what? 50 bucks, and two brand new o2 sims cost even more than that.

I might try this when i put on an off road y pipe.

Wow, I've never seen those but I know my local store has the Help stuff. Pretty neat idea, seems so obvious after you read it though.

This would be good if you are still running emissions stuff like air and egr but otherwise you will still have codes to get deleted and if you are getting those deleted, might as well add the o2's to the list.
