rv6 Precat Deletes!!

Nothings wrong with these precat deletes from Richie.
I just wanted lower end torque back so put the stock cats back on.

One problem...
One of the O2 sensor seized up even though anti-seize was applied. Seized O2 sensor is in good working condition and can be used instead of yours. New O2 sensor cost me $156...

Only thing missing in this package is the bolts. Probably you can grab some from home depot for small change.


Not firm on the price, but thinking $250 shipped with the O2 sensor included.


$250 OBO

Excuse my ignorance, but, do we need the extra O2 sensor for installation of the pre-cat delete?

There has been no CEL's reported.

You do NOT need the o2 sensor that is already on it. So when you install this, you will have to take out the current o2 sensors in order to make this work. So you will have 2 o2 sensors left over, you may be able to sell them to gain some money back.

As OP stated, they are stuck onto the precat delete, that is the reason why he had to buy new ones.

OP, did you try an impact gun to remove the o2 sensors?

it doesn't get loud if your running stock 3rd cat with stock exhaust system. and no cel too.

i don't have video of my car but you can search youtube for one. i forgot the name but someone have a several video on youtube running full catless with catback system.

like what others already have said, you don't need extra O2 sensor. mine got seized up even after applying anti-seize on it. so you can save up yours for a backup or sell it off to others who needs it. O2 sensors are expense and i coughed up $156 for a new one...

and yea... impact gun was no use...
