Have a look at o2simulator.com and obd2cables.com for something.
Another way is to weld in a spark plug anti-fouler and screw in the oxygen sensor so that the tip is out of the exhaust flow. Apparently this bluffs the sensor into reporting that everything is fine.

Run a tuner. A tuner can ignore the second sensor, and can optimize your timing and fuel curves. Hollow cats are horrible performance robbers.
