I'm not going to say anything new, just agree with what has already been said.
oxygen sensors are there for a reason. As said you wont improve fuel economy without them. They're also part of the emission control system, meaning removing them is illegal.
handbrake shoes will need to be replaced by the sound of it, as already said. Easy for a mechanic with the right tools, bit longer to do it yourself but still not that difficult.
Same thing about getting someone to connect a tech 2, you will not be able to diagnose the airbag warning without one. While you're at holden getting the exhaust hangers ask about getting a diagnosis. They will most likely tell you the O2 sensors aren't working because it's set to a fixed number (which is how the tuner bypasses them).
They would also check if there are any recorded errors with the traction control. Unlike the V6 you cant get the error codes yourself on the LS1, can only be done using a Tech 2 or similar device.
Bottom line, someone needs to connect a diagnostic system to your car before you start ripping out expensive parts.
yeah sweet thanks for the information, lol "emission control system" i ran it without cats for 2years but all good now
