Cel fix

I installed a TBE and O2 housing and the CEL came on as expected because of the high flow cat. The diagnostic reads cat. converter below efficiency. Now I have read to set the sensor more outside of the direct flow of the exhaust.

So my question is, will the O2 mechanical fix, such as this one http://www.lancershop.com/customer/p...&cat=69&page=1 , work to solve the problem. I see that there is no guarantee, but I wanted to see what people's opinions on this are and if there is any other input.

Also, this part screws into the exhaust pipe and then the O2 sensor into the mechanical fix correct, which sets it more out of the exhaust stream?

Thanks in advance!!

I did what you are questioning in your post. (02 mechanical threaded pipe extension trick) My check engine light use to come on everyday on the highway. After I did this, it came on twice a week. Still a pain to have to reset it every 3 days. City driving it would come on once every 2 weeks. (Full 3" buschur with a catco cat)
