Unlock true exhaust flow and eliminate Check Engine Light after catalytic converter removal with professional CAT / O2 OFF ECU tuning by AutoExplain.
CAT / O2 Off (Catalyst Delete & Oxygen Sensor Disable) is an ECU software calibration that disables catalyst efficiency monitoring and downstream oxygen sensor logic after the catalytic converter has been removed or replaced with a high-flow downpipe.
Modern petrol engines rely on Lambda (O2) sensors and catalytic converters to meet emission standards. However, these components also introduce exhaust backpressure and ECU limitations that restrict performance and exhaust sound.
At AutoExplain, CAT / O2 Off is performed purely via ECU software, ensuring stable operation without warning lights or limp mode.
CAT / O2 Off is recommended if:
This service is common for performance builds, track cars, and off-road vehicles.
CAT / O2 Off increases emissions and may not comply with road regulations. Recommended for motorsport or off-road use only.
A CAT / O2 Off service at AutoExplain typically includes:
Downstream O2 sensor (Lambda 2) logic disable
Catalyst efficiency monitoring deactivation
Removal of CAT-related DTCs (e.g. P0420 / P0430)
Fuel and ignition adjustment for freer exhaust flow
Boost control optimization (turbo engines)
Exhaust gas temperature (EGT) protection strategy
Full checksum correction
All non-related ECU functions remain fully intact.
