I have tried to search but could not find an answer. Does anyone know where to get a secondary O2 sim for my Cat Convertor? Has anyone had any problems with not having the actual O2 sensor in place, will it effect the way the engine functions?

You'll get a CEL. Engine will run like a Geo. I've seen like a billion of them.

First thing that showed up when I searched: o2 sim

EDIT: Even better. DIY o2 sim

 

try and get a casper's electronics one, plug and play, no splicing at all

those sims are put inline between the sensor and the harness? is there any benifit to using a sim opposed to getting a new o2 sensor?

 

I looked at the Casper Eletronics one, I like the plug and play feature. If am going to try to run the actual sensor first. If I trip a CEL then I will have to get the O2 sim.

you will still get that light for catalyst inefficiency or below threshold

 

I installed an ebay High Flow Cat last night, it is not really a Cat, it is a resonator with a bung for the O2 sensor. OBX racing. So far it has not tripped the CEL, I have only driven it once, on a short trip. I hear an exhaust leak though, so I am going to recheck the torque settings, and take it for another test spin. Thanks for the responses.
