1 go to Radio Shack and get a resistor for the uppipe "2.2 K 14V" (.99 cents package of 4) then drive to www.gb-motorsports.com and buy the MIL eliminator by Pony Express from us at $15 and we will install all of these at a low price of $20.

Here is a thread I wrote with pictures about the 2.2k ohm resistor mod.

This mod is a necessary if you are running a catless up-pipe with no EGT bung. It can also be used if your EGT probe is damaged, or just doesn't work properly, and gives you continous If the ECU doesn't see a signal from the EGT probe, it will trigger a CEL (P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency) . All that the 2.2k ohm resistor does is trick the ECU into thinking it has constant temperature going to the EGT probe.
A MIL eliminator gets rid of the malfunction illumination light caused by not running a rear catalyst near the rear O2 sensor. If you are running catless, you will probably get at CEL for this (P0136 O2 Sensor Cicuit Malfunction). By buing a MIL eliminator, you will do away with a CEL's for good. You wire the MIL eliminator into a properly working O2 sensor, and it filters the information sent to the ECU, telling it it is working properly.
