They are only there to tell the ECM that the cats are working properly. The front 02 sensors actually tell the ECM to adjust fuel mixture based on what they read

Mahalo! I was thinking of low flow cats when mine went bad. Now I can just eliminate them altogether with straight pipes.

I want headers but they will probably have to wait, i already have Borla Stingers and was thinking about the x pipe too, if its worth it.
You definately need an X-PIPE and I just happen to be removing mine this Friday. It has under 2K miles on it. It's a Dynatech and you can have it for $240.00 shipped or $200.00 in person pickup. I am in the Los Angeles area. Let me know,,,
P.S. You can just bypass the cats if you want.
