Has anybody tried this? Does it work?
Vibrant Oxygen Sensor Defouler - Universal Exhaust Items

 

i have one but i never put it on.... from what ive read they work....but who knows..

 

These are a lot cheaper, and I know they work, had one on my L61 before I traded her in.
Dorman 42009 - Spark Plug Non-Fouler | O'Reilly Auto Parts

 

bring it to me, I'll put it on

 

Was the thread pattern the same as our exhaust? What size were the threads?

 

lol i dont need it...i got plated at my uncles house no emissions.... ill sell u mine for 20

 

i also have a vibrant cat never used in the box package deal 50 + shipping....

 

I don't have emissions either, I just want my Cel light off. Not that off a big deal, just want to know if they work or not. Actual proof, pics, vids?

 

M18x1.5 I think, or whatever the sensor threads were, yes it bolted right up. Piece O cake, car likely still has it in place with no code somewhere in Kentucky right now.

 

i have it, and it clears my cel. it's been almost one year.

 

I have one, but I have a catted downpipe. paranoid I guess, and now I have tuned out lol.

 

you just put it on as a spacer between the o2 sensor and the downpipe? How do you do this with the spark foulers lol

 

Just like this bud


Ours don't point down but its the same thing, you don't need to drill it out either, just stick one on the end and put it in the pipe.

 

lol thats brilliant, It makes sense. thanks bro

 

you want the vibrant one or one that is long like it. that cheap dorman one is too short.

 

Tell that to my old 2.2

 

Is it possible for the sensor to throw a code for reading too lean after the cat?

 

Nope, 2nd sensor will only throw a cat inefficiency code.

 

sub'd

 

your 2.2 turbo'd?

 

I bought a spark plug defouler from autozone, drilled it, barely got the thing to fit, cleared the CEL so far no CEL again from driving around all day. I would normally just disable the code, but I have to pass emissions... so blah.

P.S there is no way to get a large one like the one in the pic on our car, mine was about an 1 3/4 in long.

 

use 2 in series, and they typically have to be drilled

 

OP I've got that, works perfectly for me.

 

Nope, N/A

 

lower airflow over the o2
