mechanical o2 fix for helix???

Okay guys I got a helix cat-back and now that i'm running catless i'm throwing a CEL. I know about the DIY mechanical o2 sim with the two spark non-foulers but that puts the sensor like into the floorboard almost, is there any other in-expensive way to remedy this?

Come on man search....


beside 02 sim which runs like for 50.00 you can cut and extend your wires providing helix has a 02 bung on their test pipe.

$10, have a weld shop weld a small pipe in it with a 02 sensor bung ($5 all exhaust weld shops have it), stick your 02 sensor in there, and you're done.

costs $10 for welding, $5 02 sensor bung and whatever they want to charge for the 2" long pipe that fits your 02 sensor bung.
