>From what I've been told they simulate stoic (sp?) fuel mixture signal
at all times. So is that fooling the ECM in a good way or a bad way? I
don't want something along the lines of those resistors you put in line
with your incoming air temp sensor that "give you 20 HP". If the car
will run better with Bosch O2s, that's how I'll go. Don't want it to run
worse (or melt my cats) just to have my CEL out. Thanks for the input!

They just fool the computer into thinking that you have a set of
working O2
sensors.

Primary application is for use with an off-road pipe with no cats. 
These
will prevent the CEL from coming on due to lack of proper sigam from
the
sensors.

They're sensor simulators.
