On my 2002 CC I bought a flowmaster super 44 it was 2 1/2" in 2 1/2" out and it works... sounds damn good without the cats too :D

My sensor is working just fine and I am not going to want to cut the wires on it. I didn't cut my o2 sensor wire because just in case this device turned out to a total waste i still wanted to have a functional o2 sensor. I simply splice into the ecu side of the o2 wires. Therefore i could easily re...

yes and after reading everything displayed here http://www.o2simulator.com/doc/o2sim_installation_manual.pdf I'm convinced. This page states that if you want totally remove the o2 sensor then they use a 20ohm/20 watt resistor and give pictures too.... sounds like your problem there is solved! I'd st...

Nooo I didn't try disconnecting the o2 sensor completely...I just spliced into the ground, power and cut the o2 sensor signal cable going to the o2 sensor and connected my signal wire into the o2 sensor signal wire leading to the ecu. It might work either way but from what I've read the ecu can stil...

I 2ND THAT! Replacing the sensor would be a good idea if it's dead. Even if you use this bypass you still need the o2 sensor since our o2 sensor has a heater which the ecu can also detect as resistance i believe... But other than that another day has gone by and the short drive to work and back (~10...

It'd probably work however, from wat I've read the o2 sensor near the air intake does much more random and precise signals to the ecu I think if u did hook this up I'd really effect ur performance

I could run enough wire to allow it to be place in the rear of the cab. I first wanted to place it under the hood directly into the ecu but there were soo many wire I didn't have the patience to test them all but if u or anyone else knows which pins are the power, ground, and signal then we could bo...

When i made mine i designated the power-red, ground-black, signal-green....so i can do the same..... cant get any easier. Tomorrow if I wake up early enough before i work ill check out the wires i spliced that lead to the ECU and snap a couple pictures with my phone.

Here is the schematic that I revised. This is the same as the other one that i've previously posted however instead of R1 and R2 labels i inserted the exact component name. This makes it a hell of a lot easier I promise.

Real wheel bearing? First I'd check a bend brake pad. Replace wouldnt hurt either. Real possibility since we have 4wheel abs. A bad/bent brake pad caused my girlfriends car to recently squeak like hell.
