Why don't you just tune them out if the light bothers you that much? Afterall the post cat sensors do nothing except monitor your catlytic converter so its not hurting performance, just setting the light on. I'd use the money toward a mail order tune.

Well seems your new to this automotive stuff so let me ask you these questions?

1.Which O2 sensor went out, the one before or after the cat?
2.Do you even have cats?
3.What mods do you have now?
4.What mods do you plan on getting?

Well as I mentioned if it is the post cat O2 then you don't need a simulator unless you want to shut the light off. All a simulator does is trick the PCM into thinking the cat is working properly so the service engine soon light does NOT turn on. If it is an O2 in the header collector then replace it with an AC Delco replacement. That will cause your car to lose performance.

If you plan on a cam and supporting valvetrain and gears soon then wait on the tune and get it all tuned at once from either your local speed shop or a mail order tune would work too. With a tune you can get your car to run great with the cam and mods plus you can delete codes like EGR, AIR, and those O2 codes your probably getting.

I hope I'm not offending you by stating these things but do you know which set of O2's is out? There is 4 all together. One in each header collector and one after where each cat would be.

Whoops! I meant I hope I'm NOT offending you. I'll fix it even though it is already quoted.

Yes but your talking about O2 sims, not O2 sensors which is why I'm trying to help you figure out which ones you want to replace.

Forget it just see if these work (scroll halfway down the page). If not then its your actual O2 sensor.

Casper use to make O2 sims but I heard you cannot get them anymore due to EPA restrictions, because they know if you used the sims, you removed the cats. Like one says, Even a mail order street tune will really help and they can delete all codes necessary,
