MIL Eliminators
We won't get into the legal disclaimers here regarding off-road pipes, you know the laws in your state so do as you see fit. We will mention however that removing the catalytic converters will trigger a "check engine" light on 1996 and up Mustangs. This is because the EEC-V engine management system utilizes oxygen sensors both before and after the catalytic converters. The computer expects to see voltage from the aft O2 sensors corresponding to a lean mixture as a result of exhaust gas cleaning by the converters. Removing the converters sends the wrong signal, triggering a check engine light. Fortunately there is a way to eliminate the problem. Several companies sell "MIL Eliminators" (Malfunction Indicator Light). The MIL eliminator is simply a resistor and capacitor circuit placed in the O2 sensor harness that sends the computer the lean signal (300mV) it expects to see.

i haven't seen a check engine light come on in the mach... does it come up right away or does it take a good minute to come on?

if it is tuned then the o2 sensers could be turned off and you dont have a engine light pop up.

no, not safe. autosport performance told me that the O2 sensors control 30% of the a/f at idle and are probably on of the reasons my 96gt blew up. i had a light on and ignored it. 3 months later my pistons shattered.

Sorry Emilio but my 1995 V6 is OBDII

94+ V6 Mustangs and 96+ V8 Mustangs were OBD II

I now that because I have run my CEL many a times

and many many people at auto part stores have told me it was not OBD II and they were proven wrong every time


heres a few people who agree
