Love to see a full write up / step-by step guide on how this is done (hopefully with pictures so i'll know what to remove from mine)... might anyone have it? Also considering removing my Cats but I wonder what to do with the O2 sensor... Hope someone can help..

My twin cats are finally off...good thing i removed it in time before the particles break down further into smaller pieces and screw up my muffler...

My O2 sensors... apparently they aren't working anymore... or are already by-passed...

Hope to see better mileage... EGR delete next...
Very cool, just started researching this recently. Was looking into rebuilding the EGR system, but now that I know about this route, this seems to be the long term solution.I think I finished my desmog today! I'm not 100% sure I did the fuel system part correct, but the truck seems to be running well. I have attached pics if anyone wants to weigh in. If it is right, hopefully it helps some people with the same questions. I did have two more questions...
1: There seems to be a hissing sound coming from somewhere, but I can't tell where other than it's coming from the area I just removed the smog stuff from. It appears all the vacuum lines/caps are good so I'm not sure where else to look. Any ideas?
2: That big black fan that blows air right on the engine after shutdown appears to not be working anymore. It is plugged in, but is this tied into the system I just removed? I didn't think so, but maybe?
If anyone does have questions especially on how to get the air injection manifold out without damage or removing other parts of the engine, I'm happy to tell you how I managed to do it successfully.

Quick question, do these systems tie into the charcoal canister at all? Did you leave yours in? Or delete that as well?
