Default O2 Sensor Simulator / Punched Out Cat Question

I have an 07 Silverado (new body style) Gibson shorty headers, stock y pipe, and 1 in and 2 out muffler into duals.

I want to punch my cats out, but dont want to have the trouble of the check engine light. I only have to worry about the rear O2 sensors. Where can I get O2 Sensor simulators? How can I make this work? What do I need to buy? I want to do this the right way since I have to deal with emissions. Any help is better than none. Thanks.

you can get the sensor eliminators, or you can have them turned off with a tune.

best bet would be a custome tune and have them turned off. you would be really happy that way vs the programer you have now. sorry I dont have an idea where to get simulaters at

you can do mail order tunes from people like black bear, zippy, wheatly. see who is near you and you might just have them come over and tune it for you.

Use one of the vendors to the right like Wheatley or BlackBear, they will set you up...and you will feel a big difference over the programmer.

If you have to meet E-Check standards you cant remove them at all. The older the vehicle gets they will start to sniff the exhaust, then they will notice the lack of the converters. But if you dont have to meet E-Check or the equilivent thereof, I say go for it.
