I don't think you actually eliminate the 2nd O2 sensor, you only add a fitting that changes the air dynamics of the exhaust as it passes by the 2nd sensor, hence tricking the ECU. Someone will correct me if I am wrong. A better option is to just get Flashpro and tune the motor properly to run without a CAT. The engine ECU is not flashed from the factory to run without a cat or 2, O2 sensors. I believe most people who did what you are asking, did so to run a header. Before Flashpro, people who wanted to run a header had no choice.

In my opinion, taking a shortcut like this will likely cause you more greif than you want.

To actually answer your question, I think what you are talking about is a de-fouler.

Its called a defowler, but i believe ChargedSi is right. Get COBB Ap, and run the stg2 map witch deletes the code all together.

o2 simulator, they are becoming harder to find due to the EPA cracking down on retailers who sell them.

You might be lucky to find a vendor outside of the US who is not bound by US law.
