Another mechanical CEL Fix, but better

Got this part from a buddy of mine who was gonna use it on his Intake system for his Lotus:

http://www.stickercity.com/store/pro...at=2262&page=1

Measured it to be exactly 18mm on the male end and has the required 1/2 inch hole about 5/8" down the female end. Looks like it would be perfect for our clearance issues some kits have been having and some non-foulers still throwing codes. My pipe should be in next week so i'll report back when i have it working.

All true, just pointing out a different solution that looks like its made better for the exact purpose. And its thick *** steel that deff. won't warp or rattle like i've heard the 5 dollar foulers do. For many it works yes, just offering a different solution for those that 'may' be looking for one.

"We carefully test and research the correct amount of O2 carbons which are needed for the vehicle to correctly operate..."

Im not sure I trust their testing and research... I think this is only for cadillacs... lol...

"Fools the secondary O2 sensor when you remove the cadillac converter."

Secondly you can flash the car to turn off the O2 CEL as well. Zero dollars is better than 5 or 45. For those interested you can find the fix in the ECUflash forum.

We offer these and are made from stainless so they wouldn't mess up the threads in stainless exhaust systems. Great option for someone who wants something a little nicer then the foulers even though the foulers are a great budget option.

For the evo there is no reason to make it that long or put that bend in it. This one is about a inch long and works perfectly.
