You may not have smog tests yet in =
your area but
why purposely eliminate those things that help? The sensor is the =
O2
sensor which gives feedback to the ECU as to the air/fuel mixture and =
helps the
ECU keep the mixture properly balanced.

Subject: Sensor in CAT question =
??
Hello list, =
Am in
the midst of installing a new muffler, tail pipe, and also the cat
eliminator pipe on my 89 Wolfsburg. What a hassle!! =
Anyway, I
had hoped to
remove the CAT (we don't have sniff tests here yet) =
and save
it for a rainy
day ... However, I notice there is a sensor =
screwed
into the upstream side
of the CAT. Installing the bypass =
pipe will
mean removing/eliminating this
sensor. Any problems with
removing/bypassing this sensor or should I save
the bypass pipe =
for a
rainy day ... and leave the CAT alone?
TIA
