how did you get the o2 sensor in on the y-pipe, my crap hits the wall when i try to put it on with the defouler...did you just have to do some major shoving on the y-pipe?

I just shaved a little bit of that rubber where ur 02 is hitting.

man i just got the 2 foulers on and cel still came back? how long do u have to reset the ecu for i only pulled the battery for 15 secs

maybe it's in the wrong bungs? I only have 1 defouler on the header itself post cat and no cels for about a month 1/2 now. battery was unplugged for no more than a couple of seconds

In case nobody mentioned on the mazzuri header ypipe there is only 2 bungs for the primary o2's. Your secondary cat effeciency o2's get tucked away so you will need an o2 simulator. Or you can go get 2 more bungs welded in and do this method and solve the problem theorotically. I have not tried it since I will probably just get a simulator for the after cat o2 sensors. and Im wiring both my primarys together as one.

Usually people take the negative battery terminal off for about 10-15mins... I don't know if that is actually how long it takes to reset the ECU, but maybe you just have a bad 02 sensor.

did you put in a total of 4 non foulers (the longer ones). 2for the 1st bank sencondary o2 and 2 for 2nd bank secondary o2. I didn't have to reset the car, it will reset itself if you put them in right. I have had this for over 2 years now with no problems whatsoever.

cool trick

T.O. · 04-09-2008, 03:28 PM

No, I have only two defoulers one on they y-pipe and one on the bottom 02 on the passenger side of the headers.

I just took my battery terminal off when I did the install.

Well I have been driving around with the CEL light and blinking TRAC for months now, my gas milage sucks camel balls. I get like 12 miles per gallon.

Today I am going to discount auto parts and hopefully pick up a set of these foulers and try it out. Wish me luck.

***UPDATE***

Installed a 42009 non fouler, its a shorter version of the 42002. This took care of the clearance issues, no rubbing.

So far I put 31.2 miles on this set up with no cel/trac lights. I have a toyomoto header/ y pipe/ some sort of bpipe and oem axel back.

Will keep up the report, hopefully no more cel because I hate it so very much.

silver5spd · 04-28-2008, 09:55 AM
