Even with only one shorter antifouler, my O2 sensor is still dangerously close to the car body. No CEL though. I guess I'll keep watching to see if it starts hitting the car, but the exhaust doesn't move very much at all so it might be OK.

The O2 bung on the Greddy exhaust is longer than the stock bung by at least 1/4". that is probably what the issue is on mine.

...and myself many more than that. I did have to use two anti foulers though. One didn't work. With the Sensor threaded into one drilled, and another undrilled on those.

Worked for me

Can't beat a $4 fix that works great. Just installed mine today. Took like 15 minutes and haven't seen a CEL since. Hopefully it will continue to work.

AutoZone, O'Reily's, Pepboys, etc... and don't "clean" your sensor!

I have done this and I get the cel everyonce in a while it seems. If i do nothing then it will go off in a few days. Anyone experience thier cel coming on every once in awhile and then turning off?? Annoying, but way better than staying on all the time.
