Can you explain a bit on that Araf

They are like big spacers.You take out sensor and screw spacer in then refit sensor into spacer.ebay I think snowy

pointless, just un-couple the sensors and put on the shelf. Then turn off the DTC processing in the tune.
Spending any money on anything else is just a waste.

And what are you going to fill the two holes in with? Probably a bung, that also costs money and is as much of a faff as putting in a spacer?

Some old bolt won't cost much. Cross thread the fker in

Why bother? Just leave them in there if you are turning them off.

A spark plug fits doesn't it?

Indeed, even less hassle.

OP can keep them powered if they are in as it will help them stay working if he ever wanted to go back.

Very little unless they are actually causing a restriction.

Not worried about BHP but had the car sounding the same for over three years and for £100 just want to try out a different sound, if I dont like what I hear I will just remove them

Interesting sleeving. That reminds me that I need to get a tube of silicone, to fill mine.

Yes Araf the sleeping is really robust, far far better than original plastic ones,

My (cheap) ones have a synthetic rubber sleeve, but it isn't tight, which is why I'll fill them with silicone before leaving them to the ravages of under-car life.
