Spark Plug Non foulers

Have any of you guys done this to your X's with success? I just did it to my GTS and all is good so far. I figured I would ask you evo owners bc I dont think to many lancer owners are doing this

Thanks

I am trying to get rid of a CEL caused by my headers, and tried this non-fouler but did not drive the car today to see if it would come on

Did it on my M3 when I took the cats out, since it was only 5 bucks from Kragen. It worked for a while, but I still ended up getting CEL. I don't remember if it was O2 sensor related or not though.

I put one on when I installed my AMS testpipe. No CEL as of yet.

Where did you get your angle non fouler from?

I was using the AMS race pipe with my Specialty-X exhaust but the straight non-fouler was hitting the tunnel. Ended up getting the UR Mini Muffler with one built on, but now planning to put the race pipe on my wife's MR so I'm looking for an angled fouler.

aftershock141, you have any problems with hitting the tunnel?

BTW, the non-fouler fix worked perfect on the AMS pipe.

I still get CELs with my high flow cat. Mostly they happen when the car is coldish and I get on it (P0137).

I don't have one installed on my testpipe. Cobb tuner defeated the trigger mechanism so the cel doesn't come on. I asked after seeing that he didn't install the anti-fouler that came with the testpipe. See if calvin can update your map so the cel doesn't appear.

Got mine off eBay. I believe another vendor on here is selling it also Speedtouge?sp? If in got mistaken.


Also isn't bad to a tuner turn off your cel? If something is really going wrong with your engine you wanna know about it.

no they turn off the secondary o2 check. The secondary o2 is only there to verify that you have a cat.
