    Can I drive without o2 sensors

    Installed the used Megan headers from wood. I just need to drive it to an exhaust shop to have the custom exhaust made. Can I drive without the o2 sensors installed and ALSO the egr pipe is removed. On the headers it's blocked off but not on the egr side.

    Just buy o2 bung plugs to plug the o2 sensor, and block off the egr until you get to the exhaust shop.

    Or just drive it as is. It'll run a bit rich and will be really loud but if its just to the shop it should be fine.

    When my cat was plugged I pulled the O2 for a few days til I could get around to cutting out the cat.

    If you are looking for a shop to do it, Steven and I have used Henry's Muffler in Raleigh. I used the one off of Millbrook. Great service and quality work. Just throwing it out there.
