hey guys, I found a do-it-yourself mil eliminator how to on the net somewhere so tried to make a set of my own. Now you have to excuse the poor craftmanship because stupid Radioshack didn't have the right PC board so i had to make due without......

I later coverd the exposed wire with some brush on electrical tape and then wraped it with wire loom. They've been on for about a month now and the CEL is still off, so for about six bucks and a couple hours, it was more than worth it.

I bought a set of homeade MIL eliminators from someone on here for $5 a while back. They weren't the plug 'n plays though, they were the splice ins. I ended up not getting the midpipe I wanted and never installed 'em.
If I were you, especially if those are the plug 'n plays, I'd make a bunch and sell them for 15-20 a piece!

just to clear it up for you, when you install an off road midpipe it triggers the CEL because the computer is thinking that the cats aren't working since you don't have any. so the purpose of the mil eliminators is to change the voltage that the computer sees from the o2 sensors thus tricking it into thinking the cats are present and working

Can you post the wiring diagram and some instructions? I plan on doing my exhaust and tune the "right" way in the future. But, for now, I'll take the challenge and be ghetto about it. Thanks
Not positive but have you checked the voltage/current running through there. The resistors you have are 1/4 watt which is not very much. If your coming close to 20mA which i wouldnt doubt the resistor could burn. For something I built with LED's i'm using a 15watt resistor pulling about 800mA. I know youll be pulling much less than that, but those 1/4 watt resistors are very weak.
Just something to check if it fails.
Just realized, 1megaohm, you could probably just leave that as an open circuit. 1 megaohm is almost like infinite resistance in that sense.

Thats awesome dude. Hell yeah nice work.
Not to jack the thread, but does anyone know if the timing changes when the CEL turns on because of the no-cats O2 censors?

V-6 is for real drivers. Go buy a Jetta if you want gas mileage and a chicks car. Buy a V-8 Mustang if you have no driving ability and need the extra horsepower to compensate and feel like you're fast.
some people say the car goes into limp mode and the car runs like ass but i've been driving around for a few months with the CEL on and i didn't really feel a difference.
