Going to Gut my cut on my off-road car, what do I put to defoul my oxygen sensor

I'd use this, personally:

...but check with @trdtoy, he might have one -or something similar that will work as well or better- in his stash of parts.
Vibrant has many models. Try and match it to the ones used on the aftermarket downpipes
Can get something like a mini cat or elbow that works well but these will also throw O2 sensor codes at times. Tuning the code out is the easy way.

might tune tho, gotta get some money back from a failed business conquest
if you half gut you dont need to change anything.

there are two cats right ??
yes, a lower one when you disconnect the B pipe that can be removed but be careful the o2 sensor is right behind it. doing this will net you a small gain and no tuning/elbows required... no cel.

oh u thought i had first gen ?
yeah.
might go with a aftermarket downpipe
I answered this already but if doing this to get more gurgles you will not likely be happy by just doing this. You will need a catback with straight through cat or resonator design if not straight piped and a tune anyway to make the gurgles or pops much better. Oem tune is piss poor in any of these aspects even with a good exhaust setup. For gurgles just a proper catback and tune is all that's needed. This is how the N cars are that still have cats.
