Default deleting the o2 sensors

Is it possible to delete the o2 sensors behind the cats without using sims and keeping the CPU happy.

yeah rear o2s do not affect anything they just monitor the cats. you'll get a engine light. just get them tuned out, i just payed $100 for a base tune. normaly a base tune is about $150. thats not bad if you have other mods to.....

Yes mine are gone. So are the front 02's and so is the MAF. If your going to pay someone it would be worth getting it tuned for max power in addition to turning off the 02's.

Yep, I just did that with my car and passed emissions the other day. You just disable the codes internally. If you have a tuner do it, you might as well have them get rid of the EGR/AIR/EVAP codes too so you don't have to go back to him if you ever remove that junk.
