O2 Sensors
In preparation for winter modifications, I have a few questions relating to the O2 Sensors in a 2006 C6. I intend on purchasing a set of headers for my car. However, I would prefer an off-road application but I have some concerns. Obviously, my first concern would be my vehicle and to ensure that I do not cause any long term damage to the motor or anything else. Second, I need to pass NYS inspection since the car does see street time.
I have read that while tuning (which I intend on doing), it is possible to shut off the O2 sensors after the catalytic converters. If this is done will I still pass inspection?
If not, has anyone tried to create an electrical relay that puts out the specified current to 'trick' the computer?

You should be aware the EPA says its illegal to tamper with the emission system.
