Just wanted to say that I tried this on my 350z and it worked perfectly.
My EVO came with an expensive 02 simulator so I didn't have to worry but if my car didn't have it, I would of done this non fouler/cheater mod.

well i forgot to disconnect the battery first but after i put together the two short non foulers and connected it to the 02 sensor i reset it. The CEL doesnt come on right after i turn the car on, its when i turn the car off and then on again is when it comes back on

The two spark plug anti-foulers will not work with Buschur's exhaust. It hits the bottom of the car and you cannot rotate the cat-back without hitting the bumper with the muffler. Will just one anti-fouler work with no cat?
Alex,
The WRX had actually 2 cats on the downpipe but yes like you said it was on the upper area. The Evo 8 and the Evo 9 had two different o2 sensors locations and the shape of the cats are also different.
The o2 housing has one of the o2 sensors. Depending on if you have a Evo 8 or a Evo 9 that would determine wre the secondary o2 sensor is located. On the Evo 9 the secondary o2 sensor is located right above the cat which has a flat cut on top of it.
On the Evo 8 the secondary o2 sensors is located ion the rear section of the cat -back.
Do a search on my name, I posted many pics in the past displaying the different locations of the o2 sensors on the Evo 8 and Evo 9.

Because the 2 anti-foulers did not work with Buschur's exhaust. I took the one that the O2 sensor screwed into and braised a washer on it and made the hole even smaller to try to keep the gas that reaches the sensor to a minimum. I will let you guys know if this works for those of you who do not want to bang the crap out of the underbody to get the 2 anti-foulers to fit.
