Or you can disable rear o2 with evoscan like my buddy did for me.

seriously?

u put a test pipe in place of a cat and you didnt think you need to correct the rear o2?

the rear o2 is to check the effective efficiency of the cat. make sure its doing its job, you removed the cat. so of course the efficiency of the cat is zero, its not there so its not doing its job, thus cel.

u can do the mechanical fix ie o2 extender
or you can disable in ecu.

Even with extender, I've seen mixed results. Best bet like mentioned above is to access the ECU and defeat the code.

Why order one? You can pick one up at a car parts store like NAPA or Autozone and be done with the light today
