Default removed cats - no codes or check engine light??

i removed my cats earlier today. drove around for about 100 miles and have thrown no codes, and gotten no check engine light. will i get it later? is this normal? i've still got all of the o2 sensors plugged in too. 99 c5.

Keep the rear O2 sensors plugged in and you'll probably be ok. I ended up disabling the codes with LS1Edit even though I never set them after a month of driving.

I recommend getting a set of O2 simulators.

i thought about it, but just about everybody charges $200 for a pair (tbyrne has them for $95/pair though!). all they do it tell the computer that you have cats that are installed. why not just use ls1edit to program out the error messages?

O2's are a WASTE of $$ if you have LS1 Edit.

My car never threw any codes the 1st week I was running free flowing, but then just to be safe, I deleted the codes via LS1 edit and all is well. No Problems at all.

There are about 6 or 7 codes that need to be deleted. I don't have them I just know there were about 6-7.

Good Luck :cheers:

You can get a set of o2 sims through Casper's Electronics on the web and they make them for everybody only $89.00 for the pair. :cool:
