People insisted I use a O2 sensor spacer on the corvette to prevent a check engine light but they did not work. When I was purchasing from Fabspeed they could not guarantee their mini cats so i couldn't justify the added cost of that solution either. I had better luck on my 2020 M2 using spark plug defoulers drilled out to fit the O2 sensor and would keep the CEL off for about 500 miles.

Removing the cats adds a smell that some may not like. It makes the exhaust pop more on decel. Adds about 20-30% volume

My camera should be arriving today and if it does ill get you videos.
im having the same
issue and i was think of buying the O2 spacers but many says it will not be guaranteed..could you provide me the exact OBD2 to Bluetooth adapter you are using.my car is a 2024 C8 Z06 with 2M fab sport cats installed.thank you in advance

On the M5 V10, cat deletes were worth about 40hp but the smell is strong. Not recommended for a daily driver.
