Doug does NOT turn on the rear 02 sensors, unless the customer requests otherwise! His reason, most of his customers that run his tunes, also run off road mid-pipes, or LT headers... In addition, I was also informed by Doug that his program tunes are focused on performance and improved drivability and were not designed for meeting federal emission requirements... Therefore, for those who are concerned about emissions testing, need to contact Doug and request to have their rear 02 sensors, turned back on...

Chris! unless otherwise requested, Doug automatically has the rear 02 sensors turned off on all his program tunes...

The problem isn't with the delete plates, nor with any of Steeda's products ? It's the aftermarket tunes, in which really weren't intended towards meeting federal emission requirements, to begin with..

Do you happen to know the reason he turns off the rear O2 sensors? Is it to avoid throwing a CEL?

I said OBDII wasn't around PRIOR to '96, thus the cut-off for OBDII testing not applying to cars prior to '96 in PA. ALL cars model year '96 on have OBDII.

One little correction...
Some cars had OBDII prior to '96.
My dad's '95 Lincoln has it.

It's to avoid throwing CEL codes for those using off road mid pipes and LT header applications...

Sorry, but the only reason I mentioned it was my dad took the car to Autozone because their ad said they would read codes for free.
They looked at him and said, "It's too old, it don't have OBDII".
He told me and I had him come over and hooked up my SCT and told him he had a misfire on plug #5. He had just put in new plugs, so changing the wires fixed it.
By the way, my dad is 85 and still likes to fix his own car.
