Default What should I do?? Please help...

I'm throwing code P0137 (bad rear o2 sensor). Should I replace the o2 or get sims? Two sims cost less than one o2, but not sure if I could use the o2 sims. I have full exhaust, headers, and factory cats.

What should I do? Will the o2 sims work, even though I still have cats? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I know the Speed Racer kids will yell at me, but IMHO stay with the sensor so your car is getting the input it needs to manage the system. Put the O2 sensor in to repalce the busted one and go happily down the road with a working car. Either that or use simulated gasoline and you will have no more problems.

Found out why my car was throwing this code, my headers were broke where the bottom flange is (where it bolts on to the car) on both sides. No idea how that happened, other than the shop I use probably had the exhaust just hanging there, only supported by the 2 bolts, when they swapped out my tranny. Good thing I can weld! No more codes now...
