The rear 02 sensors just monitor the cats and let your computer know if your cats are clogged or not. Now the front one's, youe car may run like crap, like hesitation and such. I would just pic up some o2 sims if your going to take them out.

When I had the headers running open I unplugged the o2's to keep it from going extremely rich from the fresh air hitting the o2's. I'm having some wierd problems now and am trying to narrow it down. That's why I was asking.

So ... not the rear ones, they are turned off anyways (cats aren't gutted yet though). The front ones measure about 50mv, not 500, but 50 when idling.
