Default Is there a way to get rid of O2 sensors

i live in jersey as some of you may or may not know

anyway since there is now way i would pass state inspection legally ....due to tints ..nothing else

i have to hit up a secret location to pass

so since i dont have to follow state rules and can pretty much do what i want to my car

is it possible to due away with the sensors

or is there anything else i can get rid of

im not really sure if its a good or bad thing to not have them

so let me know thanks

i know when they go bad your mileage and performance suffer

so i thought maybe there was a way to let the computer think they are there

You want an O2 Simulator, just so you can get rid of your check engine light?

If so I got a website for you

I had one from Casper Electronics, but I the site went down, guess they are updating, but check this article out

just guessing here, but I'd say it will confuse your ecu and possibly not run right.

How many o2 sensors are on the gs?You don't want to remove the ones before the cat but after the cat is fine.

johnny, i hate to say it, but all good things come to an end. this place that will pass you will eventually get caught, and they will be forced to shut down or have their ability to inspect taken away. im convinced it will happen just because... and when this happens and ur car is no longer able to pass inspection, ur screwed. dont mess w/it anymore. just my $.02.
