This was a lengthly process to acquire all the knowledged.. but since I know what to do now.. it's not that bad.. but for someone who's new.. it will be a painful process..
Panther28.. if you can provide me with your CEL code.. then I can help.. if you don't know how to get the code.. you will either have to buy a cheap OBD II reader or get the code from AutoZone, etc..

Well.. if the CEL code is not the correct one then adding an O2 simulator will not solved your problem..
I got this
http://cgi.ebay.ca/Universal-Oxygen-...item33643152f6
You don't have to buy from this buyer.. search other buyers..
You will want to buy an OBD II reader.. this will help if you have problem with the installation..

With all the problems I am having.. I am considering ordering and placing PPE CAT for the header.. Anyone know what the differences in Power, Torque, Sound, etc?
Additionally,
My O2 simulator that I have is cycling between 0.0V/0.7V every 3 sec.. should this be the approximate number or should it be more of 0.45V and less cycling... this is after the CAT.

-- "We offer standard oxygen sensor simulator with continuous flipping: 3.3sec at 0V and 3.3sec at 0.7V when car is not running; 3.3sec at 0V and 3.3sec at 0.9V when car is running, typical current under 10mA. It is compatible with most vehicles. However, customized oxygen sensor simulators can be ordered. Please send email after bidding and specify your desired timing and voltage. Please allow up to 4 business days before the shipping of customized simulator."

After several days.. the O2 sensor heater failed and throwing CEL with P0057.. the simulator still is fine.. this is second O2 sensor that has failed on the driver sider only.. I have brought another O2 sensor.. but has not install it. Why are the O2 sensors failing so often? I am now consider now installing High-flow cats..

It has been 1 week with the High Flow Cat (HFC) and 2 new O2 sensors.. no CEL..
But what I have noticed.. is the sound of header is not longer as raspy as before.. and a little more quiet.. I definetly like the sound without HFC.. it's so much more raw and unique.. it was an angry beast without the HFC.
