just have the codes tuned out by someone like racing greed, or jawanda motorsports. there are a few LS1 tuners around here. As for the cats just get a catted-y, it sounds nicer with cats anyways, and gut that if you want but have the rear O2's there just to pass visual

^ I'm wondering, is that legal for them to do? Cause really, the entire aircare system is a joke if you can legally go get the codes removed and then only have to pass a visual inspection.

if you remove the cats , how does a tune or code keep the O2 functional while keeping the CEL from going on?
i have an off road H but just ended up having the rear 02s turned off

The rear O2s are at a more constant voltage to tell the computer that the cat is working. And from what I know, a tune is used to turn off the codes so that it wont set off a the CEL or SES. and there are at least 2 O2s on every car now for OBD 2 1 pre-cat and 1 post cat.

Bumping an old thread since the question is kinda relevant.
So I'm taking my car to AirCare for the first time, and this time around it'll be tested for sure (my last car blew blue smoke). Any tips to prep the car for the test (ie. driving the car around beforehard to get it hot)? Also, my idle is kind of rough, but it's barely noticeable if the car is warm, unless the car is shut off and restarted. Do they ever shut off the car during the test?
Thanks.

Thoughts of how this works? Or even if it works at all? | I was told by someone that if you fill up your tank with any gas 87, 89, 91 etc etc, WITH 10% ethanol, and drive it for a while, it can help alot.
i only add gas at 1 gas station ever, and all of them (87, 91) have 10% ethanol already. so im not sure if other gas stations have ones without the 10%.
supposedly, they failed aircare, and then went and added 10% ethanol gas, they passed with flying colors xD

If there's a Check Engine light on - it's an instant fail. No cats will also fail the visual inspection, as previously noted.
So.. put some cats on, put some oxygen sensors on so the light goes away... or do the illegal and fabricate some metal boxes that LOOK identical to cats to pass the visual, and have someone with a programming tool disable the OBD2 codes in your PCM for the O2 sensors. Then the MIL lamp will go away, and you'll pass the OBD2 plug-in check. As long as your OBD2 monitors are set, you're good to go.
Aside.. why the fuck are you running no cats? Run a good high-flow cat instead, you don't lose that much power (really!). And you might live another 75 years to enjoy this world you didn't kill... | but but but....if you fill up half a tank and drive for a little bit it will pass bro!
I fucking hate revscene sometimes.

Oil change, plugs, air filter, 40 psi in the tires and a hard drive beforehand. That's given the car is in decent mechanical condition to begin with.
