you sure that the code was being thrown because of the rear o2s? I've also heard that MIL eliminators are crap, but that's just peoples opinions

Even with catted mid pipes they can still toss the light becuase they flow more and it confuses the computer. And you need to get your codes read it might not be the O2 sensors setting the light off now.

And they do work i have a set on mine and so do my freinds. No problems here for almost 2 years. So if i was you see why the light is going off if it is the rear o2's you might not have them connected good enough or they may be bad.

It depends on the car if the mils will work or not...Mine did the same thing, they worked for 10 minutes then the light came on again..I just check my codes every month
