Default Do I need O2 sims or can I delete rear sensor codes?

Does deleting the rear O2 sensors cause any loss in performance or give your pcm false readings. I have the LG long tubes with off-road X-pipe. Let me know what you guys suggest.

kiss the sims. they add .89 LBS! :cry

you can remove the codes easily with LS1 edit, no need to even buy it. go to a tuner and for $20-30 or what ever you buy him he can do it. So easy to do.

presto :seeya

You may have to have the rear sensors deleted or run SIMS, With no CATS and before Predator deleted them I would throw codes all the time - And no there is no power loss with either

I hate to post this but :

Im running the stock senors with my kooks LT header and high flo cats welded to the X-pipe. I have 300 hard fun miles since they where installs, and havent thrown a code..................... yet
Hope posting this doesnt give me bad luck
The tech that installed them said run the stocks to see if they work before buying something else :shocked:

I damaged one of my rear O2 sims when I was driving to the exhaust shop after i installed my headers so I just left them off and had them deleted when I got the car tuned. It did throw codes before getting it tuned. I was throwing lean codes. Kaley
