Default MIL eliminators with a catted X-pipe?

Can I use these eliminators (or any MIL eliminators) with a SLP X-pipe? My CEL comes on (Bank 1/2) because my cats are basically too high-flow.
How do these eliminators install? Where do they go?

I have my CEL turned off by my XCal2, but I want to sell my XCal2. So in order to this I must "return to stock", but I want to make sure my CEL is permanently off when I do this.

Sometimes it takes awhile for the light to go on. Sometimes the MIL's dont work. They go in the REAR 02's. You might also have to cut the little tabs off of the MIL's.

what randy said. Mils don't always work forever. I've had recurrent problems with CEL's and X/H pipes with only 2 cats.

Went ahead and ordered the Steeda MILs from American Muscle.

My XCal2 is up for sale now.

Received and installed the MIL's today. Installation was easy enough. Had to cut the side tabs off the factory purple male connector on the O2 side though. The blue side was plug and play, not real sure why the purple side wasn't like that. O well.

I've "Return to Stock" with the XCal2. Hopefully the CEL will stay off and the XCal2 will be up for sale.

you know... if I was you I'd slap myself in the face 3 times for even thinking about selling my MUSTANG. But I'm sure you have some sort of good reason. Heavy sigh.
