I remember in the 80s when they said performance is dead.
I remember in the 90 when they said dvds couldn't be copied.
I remember when they said the ipod couldn't be hacked...
Just wait. I believe this party is just gettin started.

Yup and I'll sit back and wait for the "I told you so moment" until then I'll try not to put my foot in my mouth. ***Patience***

Like any software. It can be hacked. It's just a matter of time. I think it may have been already.
Why are all you guys hating? Removing emissions equipment is normally a good thing for motors. It may be a good thing on this one? Don't think I'll be doing it just yet as I wanna keep this stock for now as it's a DD.

Opening up the exhaust and removing the cats is going to leave your truck whistling Dixie. Instead of cat deleting, be the first to run custom true duals. Doesn't seem too difficult to hack off the y-pipe and weld a pipe from each side. Still not going to sound great but you'd be different.

Who knows maybe someone out there will come out with straight pipes with a O2 bung, that would eliminate any CELS from coming on, which has worked for many Turbo charged vehicles, but the only thing is, it isn't 100% that it won't throw a code, I've done it to my car, and no codes ever, but read about other guys with the same setup, but different brand of straight pipe, and its still threw codes..

Of course there is the warenty issue which doesent bother you but there is also the legal issue which also doesnt seem to be a concern then there is the deminished value.but its only money and then there is the performance issue the exhaust is sized to the turbo out put. the there is the noise issue I guese it dosnt matter that the rest of the world has to listen to it and last but not least if and when you sell or trade it you are responsible to the new owner to replace or repair any emissions related equipment. seems like a heavy price to pay to make a good running v6 into a loud crapy sounding v6. Its still going sound like a 6
Iknow I sound like the fun police but Ive been there and done that and ruined a lot of machinery in the process

No, you just sound old!
Exactly, you can simulate the signal that the 02 gives, very easy and very inexpensive. You can build your own from Radio shack. A quick google search will show you how, in fact, I have two built in one of my car folders from back in my Mustang days. The computer will not know any different and Ford will never know (other than the cats aren't there LOL).

Oh and just for your info yes you can simulate a narrow band o2 senser but not so easy with the broad band used on the EB
