I have an offroad x pipe awaiting install and I cant mil elims. Anyone know where I can find some for sure...

American Muscle - Has 0
Brenspeed - Has 0

Almost every place I order them from, they call me and tell me they no longer sell them. PLEASE HELP!!!

[Doc8224]

Its pretty much ebay or bust now man, they are illegal. Get a tuner or look em up on ebay. You might find a place that still has em but not many.

[Roos85]

Will not having these destroy my gas mileage? I have heard mixed reviews...

[Doc8224]

It won't destroy it. I have seen it make the mileage a little worse but its not that bad. I took my to the drag strip with no MIL's in and it was fine. I would definatly plan on getting a tuner to shut em off if you can't find some MIL's

[Roos85]

I dont think I am going to be able to find them unless someone decides to sell theres to me... I dont really want to have to buy a tuner yet

here is a thread that explains a way around it.

Since for a little while. The Gov. started banning them due to emmisions regulations. Thats why you see some company's calling them "02 enhancers" LOL.

LOL!!!!! good luck with this guy. No answer is the right answer. He's afraid of the CEL light so he wants to send his pipe back b/c of it. Ugh, ive lost enough brain cells talking to him on SNet. Good luck fellas!

recently aquired a bassani O/R X pipe and decided to do some research and learn how to make my own MIL Eliminators. Since the O2 bungs were located pretty far back on the bassani pipe, I would also have needed to buy O2 extension wires. The total cost for the MILs and the Extensions was going to be about $100, but I instead built my custom setup for only $20 in radio shack parts.

The parts/part numbers from radio shack that you will need are:

#2760148 - PC Board - 1 Package will do. You can break the board in half.
#2721434 - Tantalum Capacitor - You need 2 of these
#2711356 - This is a 5 pack of 1 mega ohm resistors. One pack is enough.

You will also need 20 guage wire(25 ft. or so), electrical tape, solder, and a soldering iron. If you don't have these items they can also be bought at radioshack.

You will need to remove your stock rear O2 sensors for this process.

Start by carefully cutting off the outer sheathing from the O2 sensor wiring. Once it is off you will notice that there are 4 different wires -- A Gray wire, a Black Wire, and two White wires. You will want to mark one of the white wires because they will have to be matched up in their original configuration when everything is soldered back together.

Next cut through all 4 wire mid way between the connector and the O2 sensor. You will now have 2 separate pieces. Strip the end of all of the wires so that you have about a half inch exposed on each wire.

Cut 4 equal strips of 20 guage wire and strip the ends of these as well( the length you need will depend on how much of an extenison you need -- each brand of midpipe mounts the O2 Bungs in different spots). I used about 2 1/2 feet for each wire.

You will now twist/solder these wires to the two halves of the O2 wiring harness so that it seems you have now just extended the wiring harness. Be sure to pay special attention to matching the wires up correctly. You wouldn't want a black wire now connected to a different color.

Tape up each solder point so that the wires don't touch each other. After each section is tapped you can then add another layer of tape around the entire area for extra strength.

The next step will be to cut the black and gray wire in the middle of the harness(the harness should now be about 3 feet long total and you will want to cut in the middle area so that you can tie wrap it up later away from hot exhaust areas).

Go ahead and strip the wires in the same fashion as before and now you are going to follow the wiring diagram. Solder everything to the pc board as shown in the picture. Be sure to solder on the side of the board that has the little copper circles. The solder will hold everything tight to the copper area.



Be sure to pay attention to which end the Sensor is on and which the connector is on -- IT DOES MATTER.

After everything is soldered up wrap the entire wire area of the harness with the electrical tape. Once all of the steps have been completed you should see the two ends(one the connector and the other the O2 sensors) with electrical tapped wire from end to end.

Undo your battery terminals so that the car has now power.

Screw the sensors back into the pipe and plug the conector ends back into the car.

After getting the sensors plugged back up about 5 minutes should have passed. Put the terminals back onto the battery and you are good to go.


I can't absolutely positively promise you that this will work for your car, but it has for mine and was much cheaper than buying MIL's/Extensions. It works exactly like MILs do so if you have followed the instructions and diagram you should be good to go and not have to look at an annoying check engine light.

Wow, you have that much time to troll around and follow me. You need to get a life pal. Get the hell out of my threads and get a life. Or a job or something. What an immature child, and you have the nerve to say I am 12...

[Roos85]

Thanks for all the help for everyone that is trying to help me... People following me around GET A LIFE YOU FAT TOOL

Hey idiot take a peek at my post count. I frequent this board alot so dont think im following your fat ass around. Kmart is having a sale on pampers, why dont you go get some??

[HMUSN]

bring that stuff to the clubhouse or PM's please.

[Twisted4Dot6]

Is that the only places you looked at for MIL's, I got some from Ninosport not to long ago

Sorry HMUSN.

Its not worth pissing over. Here are my thoughts, ROOS85, AGAIN

Ive had my O/R X on my car for just about a year now with NO issues, only the CEL light. The runs great, just had it at the dyno and it layed down 245HP/290TRQ at the wheels with just exhaust and the CAI. I personally would save the money your going to spend on MIL's and put it towards a tuner, thats what im doing. WHY?? B/C with every mod you do you can get a tune to help enhance them, im sure right now im missing HP with just the exhaust and CAI that i can be getting from a tune with those two mods.

So whatever, im over it. Its friday.

Yea its not that they are all out they have just temporarily discontinued them til they figure out how to get around the legisltaion. I personaly give it about a month.

Try BBK, if not, I have a brand new set from BBK never installed. I live in Canada the shipping would probably be expensive.
