Default Where to get O2 syms??

I'm going to be installing headers soon, but it'll be a while before I get a tune. Where can I get a set of O2 sims to keep the CEL at bay until I can get the car tuned??

I doubt you will find any of them around any more. The EPA pretty much shut down them parts.

I have a couple of the sim. I acquired awhile back, when I installed headers on my 02 Z28. Then decided to go w/ a tune(from Ron & Mike @ Vengences Racing) instead, due to the EGR and couple of other issues. So, I ended up never using 'em. Once I get back home I can either check the package to see where I got 'em from or just sale 'em to you. Whichever you'd perfer.

Or you can check out the O2 sims. over @ the WS6 Store http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=1599

Cheers,

Never said that. Most headers and mid pipes only use front O2s, the backs are nulled out in the tune, at least that's the way it was with the C5s. Are the C6s different?

The C6 headers I have and others I looked at still used all 4 sensors. Wire extensions are used so they can all be connected.

I installed both front and rear 02 sensors my C6 header installation. Had it tuned to remove the CEL that came on after approx. 60 miles after installation.
Tuner removed the rear O2 sensors which illuminated the CEL. Prior to the CEL illuminating the car ran excellent.
