#4Lol you can drive it without the Sensor mate, I don't have any of mine plugged in. But you'll either have to plug the hole or replace the pipe and refit the sensor

#5My lambda sensor rusted out of the cat not so long ago. I ended up replacing the cat.
Can't imagine it causing you any problems as it is, the sound just drove me crazy! -
#6Thanks guys I've been driving it embarrass with the sound haha think ill go to the scrappy tomorow see if they have one , as it's the 2nd sensor I'm goin to have to replace the cat as well I'm guessing as the pipe is welded to it :/
