Question Clear SES codes?

So, when I bought my car just over a year ago, I soon found out that my cat had been deleted. No biggy, right? Except for it being illegal. Anyway, I've got the damn SES light. I'm curious if it's possible to have the code deleted, so I can finally drive without the SES light. I love it when I have to disconnect my battery and it clears the light, and I'm driving around w/ my dash light free! haha. Just wondering if there's a permanent fix? I've heard I have to have it professionally tuned out, but I really don't have the kind of money for a professional tune. Was wondering if those little handheld tuners could do the trick too?

The second o2 sensors only tell the ecm that the cats are working and in place..so to say. My Diablosport has the capability to program out that input and prevent that trouble code. Not sure about any other units. There are guys selling these Diablosports for $50 here used though. Worth it just for real time monitoring of sensors and DTC management alone.

Is it possible if someone has a tuner like that, for me to take the car to them to have them tuned out? Or do I have to purchase my own tuner for my own car?

Let me know. If anyone local would be willing to do it for... ridiculously cheap... let me know. How much does this kind of thing normally run? I really don't have much extra play money. I'm willing to buy lunch or something. Haha...

I need my AIR and EGR deleted... but I think that's LS1Edit, not a Diablo Tuner...

I'm around Dallas if anyone can do this and wants to send me a PM with a price.

Also, Should I have codes deleted, then remove the parts? Or visa versa?
