To answer the question of is our CEL problem fixed, yes it is. We supply an 02 simulator with every full turbo back exhaust system (with offroad pipe) we sell, and they work.

You can buy these outright for $55 from us, as I say though, buy a full turbo back and they are included.

So far it looks like the UR test pipe is one of the only test pipes that is 100% free of the cel.

The Perrin test-pipe also comes with the 02 simulator. I've been running it for over a year and have never had a CEL... so it works

I second that, I haven't had a single problem since I did this anti-fouler trick. It's cheap and reliable.

Hey i gotta say I installed my bushur racing 02 thingy (technical term I know Lol) But it works great...NO CEL!!!
Quick question thou, it will only effect my 02 sensor correct? If there is another problem that would throw a CEL it will still come up right?

i used the 2 18mm anti foul spark plug adapters. Works great, no cel ever. Did have to bang in the bottom of floorboard to keep it from rattling, but well worth it to only spend $5 for the fix. Thank you whoever came up with the original idea.

The CEL will still work for any other problems. Our 02 simulator only fixes the light for the rear 02.

The foulers are a great idea. We tried something similar on our first systems for the EVO but it didn't keep the light our on 100% of the car, so we went to this more expensive fix. Well it is more expensive for us, costs you guys the same thing.
