    Default Homemade o2 simulator

    Found this cruising the web so I decided to try it after recently gutting my cats. Well so far no light sense. Fingers crossed this will be a 10$ fix for me. So far so good.

    So basically it just moves the o2s out of the stream so that they dont notice that there is no cat (or cat guts)?

    Can't seem to quote after the tapatalk update ugh, but yeah Popo I'm assuming it lets just enough hit the o2 that it still thinks everything is kosher. From what I read it has worked for a lot of people on all kinds of cars.
