Where to buy O2 simulator

I'm planning on lower by Evo next week and with the rear O2 going into my exhaust at the 4/5 o'clock angle, I'm afraid it will get damaged once the car is lowered. I need to get a O2 simulator that will allow me to remove the sensor all together and just plug up the hole.

I've searched and all I'm able to find is the Perrin. Are there any others?

TIA

I have an AMS TBE and with mechanical fix the o2 sensor was hanging too low (only one anti fouler). I didnt even try to put the second one. So i got perrin 02 simulator,no cel for 300 miles so far. Hopefully will work for a lot longer.

I guess that not many people are familiar with other different types of o2 simulators uh?

Give me 2 minutes and I will post the pic of my o2 simulator from my own car. It is a mechanical/metal plug that puts a gap between the real o2 sensor and the exhuast piping therefore fooling the o2 sensor reading.

My simulator is plug and play. You screw the o2 senor to the plug and the plug to the exhaust. No cutting, no splicing, no special tools, clean, cheap, simple and efective.

So do you still have the O2 sensor installed or is it removed completely with the Perrin fix?

Thanks for the response Carlos.

My problem is the way the bung is welded on my pipe. If using a clock as reference, my O2 sensor is going into my exhaust pipe at about the 4/5 o'clock position. This in essence makes the end of the O2 where the wires come out the lowest point under my car. I need to find a fix where I can remove the O2 sensor completely if such a fix exists.

Carlos, you are running this mod you did and no CEL? I see the engine mods you have and i just want to know how long you have been running with the 02 fix and if you have had any problems. I am about to do my exhaust and this looks clean and factory, so let me know. thanks
