Run catless?
Catless is better.
And no, it will fail emissions. If you get the O2 sensor faker from zzp, it will keep you from getting a trouble code. But if they use the sniffer, it will still fail.
Move to Missouri or Kansas.
Honestly, no one gives two sh1ts here about anything.
OR, buy a fake 3" cat from Frozen Boost and just bolt it in there...to add, what year is it? Because you can only run an o2 sim with '97-'00 cars...after that you need to actually run the rear o2, just remove the codes via the PCM.
