You must be right, just because mine kept throwing a CEL with only one istalled (as have many others)and it quit when I installed the second one means it was just a fluke and the second one had nothing to do with it.

I should learn that I dont know shit and just keep my mouth shut, forgive me please.

Ron helped me install two anti-foulers (advanced auto) as well on my TP and I haven't had a problem yet... (knock on wood) No CEL!

Gotcha, I bought two non-foulers (mainly because they were two in a pack) and I'll install both in the car to avoid any CEL problems...hopefully my car runs longer than two years...

I always recommend running two. One always doesn't work and no point in doing it twice

what year is your car? I remember reading something about the 06 and higher are more sensitive and needed more.

I have the same setup. invitia 70mm Test Pipe w/CEL Fix on a 05.

The cel fix alone did not work for me. I had to use 2 anti foulers . It's been in for 4 years. no issues.

I found the anti fouler metal to be pretty soft. I drilled it out with a $20 hand drill.


Good luck.

I had to run 4 when I had the 70mm tp and 70mm exhaust....that is until I realized there was a switch in the CR to turn off the second o2 sensor.

Very easy to drill them out. Takes more time to Jack the car up and yes 06 and up are way more sensitive to throwing a code

So the anti-fouler just has a small hole and then you drill to make them larger. The previous owner of my car had one on there so I just left it on and never got a code, however the hole is tiny. So I guess mine is undrilled?

I have an invidia test pipe. The one without the CEL Fix. I called invidia and the premade fix is on back order. Anyone know where to find a good DIY thread. I did a quick search and can't find one here or on google. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hndSU6dynCY there is what it sounds like. I really just need my cel off. its getting annoying.
