Thread: Downstream o2 sensor delete?

I got this zzp 400 cell downpipe installed into my gp now. The car sounds a little louder than it did. I am not too worried about it being loud, I am thinking I didn't line up the gasket that goes from the downpipe to the resonator, I seen some liquid slowly leaking.

My problem is this, i got a new o2 sensor that goes into the cat. My o2 sensor is starting to strip, I cannot get it to start threading, will it be possible to just put a plug and delete the downstream sensor, or should I try to re thread the o2 sensor, the threads on the downpipe are not too bad, but being under the car with jack stands is a pain.

It only goes one way, so there is no lining up to do.

Yeah I am not sure, I will try to tighten them some more. Is there any disadvatages to deleting the rear o2 sensor? I found a plug, then a emulator I think its called that plugs into the where the sensor plugs into.

you have a 01, its gonna over fuel on you because of that dumb cat test bs. aka you need your o2.

you stripped a new O2 sensor in a new downpipe ?
