[QUOTE="mineral03, post: 156142, member: 3086"] No, it wont mess up your 02 sensors, but it will set a code for them. What happens is the rear 02 sensors are there to check and make sure you cats are working properly.If you put an offroad pipe, you cats arent doing anything, because theyre not there! So it will set a code that your o2 sensors have failed. Theres 2 options( well 3 total): -Install MIL eliminators, which you install inline of your rear o2 sensors. These basically fool the computer into thinking that the cats are still there, -have a new chip installed, that basically turns the rear o2 sensors "off" - or, you can always put cats back in Ive got MIL elims on mine, but keep getting my check engine light coming on... sets a code for just one side( L side). So i erase it, and then switch my MIL's from side to side, and then it sets another code, and its on the opposite side.. so i know its the MIL thats screwed... [/QUOTE]
