Curious, what do you think would happen when pollutants passes catless cat and existing o2 sensor pick this up and complains to the ECU? You would get a CEL.

When you install a catless dp, your tuner needs to disable the CEL from o2 sensor. Installing another o2 sensor will just trigger CEL. This is why lot of people upgrade to catted dp, but even then ECU is picky when O2 sensor gives it's readings. So you would need to tune it regardless.

Your tunner should fix the issue. What if you bought another O2 sensor and the issue remains. Why the car overheating.

According to tuner my o2 sensor was scaled and not completely shut off. Appreciate your guys replies and help
