I didnt know anything about it when i first started this thread years ago.

Just installed an FM Microtuner, which uses dummy plugs to trick the o2 sensors, so they're not being used anyway. May remove them to get the extra wires and crap off the big, then plug the o2 holes on the headers.

Funny... I didn't even notice this was an old thread.

Default No O2 sensor, no problem (for me)

I made this account just to respond to this.

I have a 2012 harley 1200 that had original exhaust.
1st I took out the baffles and it lost some top end power

then I put on straight pipes and disconnected the O2 sensors. I expected the engine light to come on. What happened was it definitely has more horsepower and no engine light.

Same here. I have the Micro EFI. The O2 sensors are in a box, and the holes are plugged.
