Default 02 simulators for less than $10.00

yep,thats right! less than $10.00. all you need to do is go to local parts store and buy 2 sets of sparkplug antifowelers. get a 9/16 drill bit and drill out one sparkplug antifoweler so the senser fits. screw it onto the senser then screw the other sparkplug antifoweler into the exhaust then connect them by screwing them together. thats it! then do the same thing to the other side. its simple as ****. I did it 2 months ago after i hollowed out my cats and no SES light still. it saved my *** $180 at summit for their 02 simulaters.

Yeah id heard of this before too. Here is a link to a more detailed explanation:

The antifoulers basically just move the 02 back so its not seeing as much of the exhaust gas.

125-104035 O2 Simulator (Single) - 1996-up V8 F-body/Corvette (2 required) - OFF ROAD USE ONLY $44.99
x 2 = $89.98

I don't know why Summit would be that high, $90 is alot more then $10, but then again getting a custom tune is the best way to go.


Peace,
Craig.

Which link doesnt work? The link I posted works fine here. Its not that difficult really:
You put that inbetween the O2 and the bung, and it removes the O2 from the exhaust stream, giving the illusion the air is cleaner.

i have hooker long tunes with the bungs on the outside of the merge collector. i was so damn excited when i saw this fix. went out to the car and realized i would not be able to get one of them anti-fowlers in let alone 2 of them... i would have to dent or cut at the sub frame...
i will try to get the one up there, but if it doesn't fix the SES light and swithching code, i am only out 8 bucks and some time...
