Default Rear O2 Simulators

OK, after waiting over a month for my set of 02 simulators that Thunder Racing said they had and would "ship right out", they sent me my plugs for the pipes and a notation on my bill that I'm getting a credit for the 02 simulators that obviously they don't intend to provide. WHO'S GOT SOME IN STOCK???? Anybody know?? I want to put this thing together and I need some Sims in my state.

One idea is you can get a tune and get the tuner to delete them out. Good Luck

ok listen carefully best best 02 sim get 2 (for each o2 you are simulating) so 4 all together 18mm anti fail spark plug adapters usually found in a help section or something to that effect take 1 drill the center out as big as possable so the 02 fits it connect it to the untouched one (on top only small hole should be shown) put the o2 in and put it in the exhaust alot of times electronic o2 sims give problems i have done this to eveything from corvettes mustangs imports and german it will cost about 12-15 dollars and 1/2 hour of time

I don't get it. Is this a homemade sim?

Great idea, but I tried it for the rear sensors on my C5 and found there wasn't room to reinstall the sensors with the plug extentions in place. Plus, if I dropped the pipes lower to install the sensors, the top end of the sensor hit the floor panel when the pipes were reinstalled.
