It looks like it may work. It's doing basically the same thing the defouler mod is doing, which is moving the o2 sensor outside of the test pipe or high flow cat. Not sure about that mini honeycomb but in theory I can't see why it wouldn't work and be a little more efficient than the defouler mod. However, with a $50 price tag, I'll stick to the defouler mod.

Yep it works, if you have a 06 up the secondary is very sensitive and defoulers don't really work. I went through 2 types of defoulers before I tried this and I haven't gotten a CEL since!

haha. well this one is different than the one from autozome. This one has a mini filter like a CAT that filters out the bad exhaust particles that set off the CEL. The one from autozone is just a bolt that is drilled 1/2 inch so the o2 is pulled away further from the exhaust.

Clever idea but added to the cost of a test pipe, $60-$100, I wouldn't run without a cat if the defouler didn't work, all things considered.

I tried the autozone cheap method before as well, stacked 2 of them and tried a cheap angled defouler but neither did the trick, the 06+ cars secondary O2 sensor is very picky
