Thumbs up Cats are off. Light is on..

On my 2007 LS460, just before I install nitrous, removed all cats, installed new zero BP full stainless Magnaflow exhaust....sounds great. 2.5 tubes. x-pipe. 4 resonators. 2 straight-thru muffs. I tried the "non-fouler" trick to space the downstream O2 sensors back out of the exhaust stream, but that is a no-fly. There's a way to get that light off, who can tell me what it is...? Thanks!

Unsure about the CEL w/o a Tune, which we've been trying to get RR-Racing to develop. Have had no luck.

You plan on a 75 or 100 shot? Would Nitrous really be effective with the sluggish transmission and 130mph limitation? I'm in for some pulls showing the speedo!

The spacer only works if the cat is still there and is out of the optimal threshold.

Try an o2 simulator. It's basically a resistor that mimics the output at an optimal range, so the car thinks your cat is there and working properly. It completely eliminates the need for a rear o2 sensor.

Jasoneo5,

I'm looking at it this way, considering the cost of a turbo kit, or a blower kit....It'll go, or, it'll blow!

Douglas - you ever get around to installing this? Would love to see a speedo acceleration video!

Jason, we are still piddling with it. The bottle is installed, solenoids are fitted and plumbed, still have purge kit (colors!), switches and gauges to go. BTW, I also have purchased another device (2) to shut the icons off....it's two tiny little cats that go in the O2 sensor ports. $250 but I'm tired of no cruise and TC on, etc.....When it's wrapped up, I'll get you some stills and a video....probably be a few months.

Congratulations!! Did the 02 simulators plug in, in place of where the 02 sensor would connect? Mind sharing the part you went with?

Look forward to seeing the results.
