Can I run no cats for a few days while I can get a tune to turn of the rear o2 sensors?
I know that they are just for the cats and my cel will come on but it wont go into limp mode right?

I am under the impression that catless is more raspy than same set up with cats.

Just an FYI - the TSP longtubes with the off-road extensions won't even have a bung for your rear O2 sensors. I removed mine and made a plug from the GM OEM connectors and some silicone.

Make sure you purchase the 02 Sensors extensions from TSP.

Mine dont either and I got them last month

I just looked in shipping & the 1 7/8" has a spike, but the current version of the 2" does not. I can added it if you guys would like in the future, but my testing data was exactly as we've been shipping so I don't know currently how the spike will effect power output. I will get a test set built with spikes to see if it changes anything.

I'll keep ya posted

What did the spike add on the 1 7/8 headers?

Rich I'll look on my 5th gen data. On the 4th gen headers is made no noticeable change in power, but it looks cool :P

Do you guys want me to see about adding a rear o2 sensor in the cat pipe? The o2 won't stop the ses lights from the cats though. We use high flow cats that still trip the SES light.

Thanks
