Dummy sensors

Where can i find dummy sensors and how much are they? I have my 2nd cat off and its causing my check engine light to come on. I changed the o2 sensors and that still did not to the trick, thanks jfarm

Aside from the check engine light, have you noticed a decrease in performance? Commonly on the newer computer controlled trucks, youre computer will compensate for youre lack of a rear cat. Is there a reason you removed it? Is a high flow unit out of the question? I am not too familiar with the dummy sensors, but I have to believe that an EPA attendant can find out with their visual inspection (if you have one) that its been altered.

Umm....I think we all know this is an exhaust forum. Where do you see a problem?

I also removed all four cats on my 98 F-150, I never got a light in the three months I drove around without the MIL eliminators. The truck acts the same as it did with the cats. I ran a Flowmaster 40 dumpped for a little while, then I stuck on two Dynomax Bullets, 3" IN/OUT, into 2 1/4" piping with 4" Magnaflow tips at a 45 degree angle out the back, that deffinatley made up for the little bit of tourqe loss I experienced, now it just sounds like a machine gun. Everyone that knows the truck around here calls it the M60-150.
