Im guessing theres a reason why I dont see more people on here with them but I dont know what that reason is. Anyone want to enlighten me?

the o2s can be tuned out when you have the car tuned so i wouldn't worry about o2 eliminators

if you don't have to get the car inspected anytime soon i would just wait... the ses light being on for your rear o2's is not going to affect performance... the rear o2's are there to make sure the cats are working properly, the front ones are the ones that affect how the car runs... if it were me i would wait until you get the longtubes and catless x done then get it all cleared out in the tune
