your CEL will come on sooner or later due to the lack of cats. Some people have no prob with it ( i dont have a prob with my o/r h) but some people have said that thier car runs better with the MIL eliminators. its totally up to you.

the reason why they arent on is because the mechanic said that they would olny fit on one side of the mid pipe ( the left side) so he didnt bother putting them on does that mean that my o2 sensers are in the wrong spot

you have 4 o2 sensors. The MILs go on the rear two. one on the left side, one on the right.

MIL eliminators work fine for me. I actually got through MD. emissions earlier today with my x-pipe on. Busting the tabs off of the MIL eliminators is required for them to work, it's easy.

BEWARE OF DALLAS MUSTANG MIL'S! today mine went out and caused a short in the PCM, causing the relay and fuse to short out and blow, the car wouldn't even start. I pulled them out and replaced the fuse and it started up fine.

Damn....I'm running the Steeda MIL's and they work fine. I keep them on there just so I don't have to worry about the CEL going off for a problem that I already know about. I was getting a code for "Bank 1 too rich" and I was really worried about getting through emmissions so I reset my ECU about an hour before going to the inspection station. I found that as long as I didn't downshift and engine brake then the light would stay off. I drove it like a pussy the entire way there and it never came on...thankfully :dancing6: My fiancee and I even went out for a beer afterwards to celebrate. :banana:
