This will help you build one, and it's pretty inexpensive. I would get in touch with Bear River and ask about some performance cats instead. I hate to "go green" but cats do serve a purpose, and it's enviromental not economic.

Do a search of ebay for "oxygen sensor eliminator" and I don`t think you will regret deleting the cat.
Good luck.

OK. Try putting "oxygen sensor simulator" in the ebay search.

I am amazed it did not come up for you. I take it you are searching ebay USA?
Try entering 390034742874 into the ebay search.

If you cut the cat off, why are you worried about "off-road use only" disclaimer?
