Bypassing the Cat converter

[sscotty]

Hi Guys,

The office lady at work has a 2006 S V6 and the dude at the local mechanic reckons the comb stuff inside the cat is breaking up. I suggested smashing it all out but then apparently the sensors will go off. Is there anyway we can bullshit the sensor so it doesnt show a malfunction?

BTW in in New Zealand, and we dont legally need cats. So If a replacement pipe would be a better way to go then that is ok to.

Any help would be much appreciated as they are tyring to charge her $1200 just for the cat.

Cheers

Scott

$1200? Damn, what a rip! Is that 1 or both?

 

[Lumps of cheese]

lol @ $1200, it must be made of gold. Not even a pair of high flows cost that.

Actually mate some Cats contain Platinum... and some other precious metals more expensive than gold... so you weren't far off!

Just get a couple of uni cats, about $180 each.

my old vp 5ltr sounded pretty good with no cats or mufflers just a twin 2.5in hahaha... but hey if its legal to not run cats in nz i say just get the pipe extended and get rid of the cats altogether... a tuner should be able to fix the sensor problem

Yeah I think it was $1200 just for the one!haha. and apparently thats second hand prices too! No ****.

I think shes keen to get rid of the cats if the sensor light doesnt come up. But that is the problem. There must be a reasonably easy way to mislead the sensor?

plenty of O2 sensor cheater circuits out there for the second o2 sensor so it fools the ecu into thinking its working fine
