I bought mine from a guy on this site. I believe his name is "msmotorsports" he is from NC with a Blue GT. Anyways he make them and sold them to me for I think 15 shipped. Had them on a year and not a problem. They are pretty easy to install, not as easy as the Plug-N-Play ones but worth the cheaper cost. Good luck

I've got some BBK mil's and they are working great on my car. They were the plug and play style.. I haven't had a problem with them yet and it's been nearly 3000 miles..

I kind of want to stick with the direct plug in style. It sounds as though most people have problems with any of them? I know I was real disapointed when it came back on after a 100 miles with the bbks. I know that hot rod used the bbks with the bbk o/r x on there air hog mach 1 project and there light came back on too.

I got mine from Brothersperformance about 2 years ago. They worked great, no problems at all with them. I think they are about 65 bucks.

Usually its an exhaust leak, and I will tell you this from personal experience. I thought my dallas mustang ones were garbage but I guess I had a very small leak,put a new gasket on the passenger side exhaust manifold and make sure everythign is nice and tight, those 02's are very finicky. Make sure you disconnect the battery when you put the mils in.

I never thought of an exaus leak causing it. That could have been a good possibility.

I made my own and they have worked wonderfully for the past month and a half. These are not the plug in type either, the ones that I made go directly in line with the O2 sensor. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Once I put my mils on my check engine light still came on, but then I got the diablo tuner and there's an option that lets you just turn the sensors off. Haven't had a prob since

You people are putting the o2 simulators/MILS (what's the difference) on the BACK o2 sensors, right...?
