    All,

    I installed a URD O2 simulator in line to the engine control module when I had my second catalytic converter stolen a while back. I have since replaced the catalytic converter but have not yet removed the simulator. I wonder if I should just leave it there to work with the new cat or remove it. If I do remove it is there a market for me to resell?

    If you have a cat on now, I would remove it. I don't think there is any advantage to keeping it. It's not like it adds HP or anything.

    I'm sure there's someone out there who would buy it. Post it in the for sale section.

    I knew there was no HP gain, just satisfying the ECU with the correct voltage range. It has been flawless in operation.

    Try running without it in place to ensure your new cat satisfies what the ECU is looking for, and once you verify that, sure, sell it. Someone always dealing with those applicable MIL codes it seems
