Default CEL FIX! Different kinda O2 simulator...

I know they stopped making the wire o2 sims and I really don't know anyone here who can tune out my rear o2 sensors. I'm about to do a header install and was wondering if these simulators will work for my setup. From what it looks like these pull the sensor out of the direct exhaust flow. Will these work with my car or am I stuck searching for a tuner!

On most cars that works sometimes it doesn't. I've never tried it on a C5. The item in the auction is a spark plug de-fouler you can get them at an auto parts store for a under $5 bucks and just drill the hole out larger.

Thanks! Do the spark plug de-foulers have the same thread pattern as the o2 sensor? I'm guessing this won't work seeing nobody else has them so i'm going to go ahead and have the rear o2's deleted. How much would that be?

Hmm, seems like it might work. Anyone actually try this on a C5?

If you look around you can still find sellers of sims for off road use only. Can't post em or the smog ***** will get me. The non foulers are reported to work on a whole lot of cars. Somebody should give them a try at least.
