I don't think that is possible for the is300 since it will have to go through emissions eventually. Unless you register your car as a track car of course...you would prolly need a standalone since your car would prolly be running off without it..what problems are you having with them?

What troubles do they cause? They are an item that has a limited lifespan... it is normal to have to replace things with limited lifespans... Without them, it will take a standalone fuel computer, and even then, it will be very hard to obtain similar fuel mileage...

Yea I don't have emissions either. I just hate how picky o2's can be. Ig i'll just get o2 sims and see if those work. I have headers and I was just wondering if it is really worth the fuss to keep them. Ik what they do but I just feel like they can cause stupid issues.

O2's aren't picky so long as the vehicle is operating properly. Saying they cause problems is kinda like saying mass air or map sensors have problems... of course they have problems over time, but they are essential for the car to operate.

If your headers deleted the catalytic converters, then to prevent a check engine light, you will need the o2 sims. This is not the sensors being picky, this is them doing their job by saying the cat is not in place...

^Yes I agree with you. I will just try an o2 sim. I was just seeing if there was a way to get rid of them. Yes they do cause issues overtime, and that is what I'm trying to prevent (especially when there are mods involved ). Alright thanks for your help!
