I want to get a 42dd O2 sensor spacer but in the mean time will i throw a cel if I punch out the cat without the spacer?

Did you check if you even have 2 o2 sensors?

Check now. Left hand side of engine bay on your rear engine mount. That big plug on the left is the oxygen sensor.

after further readings, i have a few questions, if i hollow out my cat will i CEL come on?
what if i unplug the o2 sensor and zip tie it up somewhere else so it reads clean air and plug the o2 sensor hole?

Nope. You don't even have a CEL. Go get some pipe and go to town.

Looking for an honest opinion on these to fit a mk3, It's either buy these or save up and buy some d-hole steelies

15x7 +20s' so will have good fitment and wide like I want, got a real good price also so probably, why not.

Took out the baby bar today. Surprisingly easy, just remove both bolts (+ little caps), push the seatbelt winders out of the way and the whole thing pops out.
So much easier to put things in the boot now with the seats down and bar gone, feels spacey.
I fit in two surfboards and still have room for an esky and 2 passengers, win!

No , you can dig the cat out , but its not so easy , but a definite no to leaving the 02 sensor off . The car will run really bad .

In regards to OBD . We don't have this specific ECU function on our cars . It mainly relates to readiness codes for emissions testing , which we by law don't have here . The only ECUs that have OBD are countries where there is compulsory emissions testing like USA/UK/Germany etc . So calling any Australian MK3 by OBD1/OBD2 is technically not correct . The correct term used is for the scanner input is diagnostic plug . Im happy to dig out my MK3 study guides and Australian workshop manuals and scan and post it if it helps people understand .

what a bummer, some wide d steelies or something would look great though, something with dish and some width always looks the goods.
