not sure if anyone has a step by step for this yet. But when i take the car in to get my tires put on AGAIN i will get it high enough on the lift to take a shot or two of the down pipe for ya.
but honestly it looks pretty straight forward, there are two or three bolts on the upper flange and then the rest of it is real easy to get to. Just not real sure how this mounts in to the car on teh bottoma s i havent seen one in real life. YET!!
but they would not be hard if it is a clamp in , i would do mine then take it to the shop and have it welded in to place on the bottom and forget about it.
Make sure you use a 02 sim there ont eh bottom end of the pipe or you will throw codes.

Not in Illinois i dont even have to have a cat on mine but i did any way incase i move. thats one good thing about illinois is that they dont have emisions tests. but i think in other states its just how close they look at your car but i am not sure

they dont cause the car to run dirty they just make it think it is having a good reading. you still have the front one just not the back one. it is a second chance type deal. the first one reads and then the second to make sur ethat it is not a false readding.
honestly i would not worry to much abou tit they have to crawl under your car to find it. so if you have a state inspection you can just throw the old one back in it if ya needed to Or just live with the light on in the dash

so if you put this o2 simulator in your car will pass emmissions if its putting a check engine light on???
mine went off for a few days, and now its back on again, so i think i need to invest in one of these things, but its after the cat where it goes???

Where in Illinois do you live? In the Chicago burbs there certainly is emissions tests on cars. I don't remember how often you have to get tested with new cars because of my last couple of cars I never kept them for more than 4 years. So none of my recent cars were called yet. I had a brand new 93 Sunbird that was tested at 4 years old.
