Default Cat delete 02 Simulators

I know that everyone uses/recommends Big Daddie simulators, I have a set myself. But I'm needing another set for another exhaust job, and for some reason I cannot get them to me in Canada from them and nobody is answering me from Big Daddie. Pretty annoyed but what can you do.

So my question is does anyone have an alternative that could work that they have used on their C7 Z06? appreciate help with this.

The US EPA outlawed O2 sims several years ago, they are getting almost impossible to find now.

hmmm, gotta be somewhere though. Good to know though thanks.

If I cannot find a set, is there a good hand tuner I could use to set my friends car up so CEL doesn't go? We do not have tuners around here, so would need to be a easy hand tuner then

Nope... handhelds do not allow that... you can't disable any emissions related trouble codes at all with a programmer... Again, due to the E P A... all of that functionality had to be removed from programmers years ago....

Good to know. Guess I'm looking overseas for a alternative to Big Daddie then.

Sounds like that or having a custom tune made for me would be the only way? correct?

Again, no is the answer. HPT Tuners and EFiLive have both had to update their software otherwise take a chance on the hammer coming down from the EPA. Unless you find someone who has the older firmwares in their MPVI or MPVI2 then you cant delete out emission codes now. You can turn them off so they dont report, but they still log in the ECM.
