Trick the computer?

Perfer people with experience...
I have a 3" DPw/ a HF Cat on it. I am still getting a cat below efficiency code. I have friends who have had good experience with using antifowlers to space the o2 out but since my heat shield is already close to the back of the o2 would this work? I have no experience with anglers and was wondering if anyone is running one.
Thanks for the advice.

If you can having it tuned out is best. Though I have heard of people either angling the o2 sensors in the exhaust pipe or using sparkplug foulers with some succes

yeah I ran into that problem as well with the zzp setup. The only 2 things left to do is to try to angle the o2 or have trifecta tune it out.

Id get it tuned out personally but if money is a problem you could always run a L-shaped anti-fouler ive seen it done before on a few cars.

I had to use the antifowlers to get my CEL to turn off because I have no tuning. But since you don't have a lot of room you could do the L shaped one, like this:

That's just one that I found on the net for the purpose of showing you what I was talking about, but I did a little research and found one made for the cobalt

Looks like its made by megan. Fairly cheap. It might be worth a shot once I get the new downpipe on from zzp.
