Offroad Xpipe owners.

[94GTHO]

When I ordered my X pipe I did not buy the elliminators because I didn't have the money. When I had my friend who is a auto tech put it on he suggested I use spark plug non foulers. They are about $3 at Advance Auto Parts for a pack of two. You are supposed to drill out the end of it to allow room for the O2 sensor. You screw the non fouler into the xpipe and then the )2 sensor. I have not had a light since and it only cost me $3. If any of you know of this and know there is something wrong with doing this please tell me otherwise its a great trick so far.

The part number that I got was 42009.

I don't see how this can keep the check engine light from coming on. the mil's are programmed to match the settings of an o2 sensor operating under normal conditions with catalytic converters on the car, and simulate the exhaust environment so the car "thinks" the cats are still on the car.

these "nuts" don't do that...so I'm baffled by how the check engine light is not coming on because of this little part.

I was to and didnt believe him but he said he would pay me double what i payed for them if they didnt work and hed put em on for freee since he was doing my xpipe. Worded so far and that was about 2 weeks ago

My check engine light took about month before it popped on after my o/r x install.

mine came on like 2 days after i got my h-pipe installed.

Mine took about a week to come on.

well the full story is he put the x pipe on and it had a leak so i ordered a new passenger gasket and got those non goulers. my check engine light came on and i checked it at my work. o2 sensors. i kept clearing the code and it kept coming back. he reinstalled the pipe and put the non foulers in and i erased it again. that was a week and a half ago. hasent come on since.

2 of my friends tried the same trick.

it didnt work on an 05 GTO or on a 03 GT

it is SUPPOSE to pull the o2 sensor far enough out of the stream so that it doesnt see all the unburned fuel, only a small portion of it.

long story short it does not work

 

[94GTHO]

well it worked for me. guess i am just different

 

[SaleenGT2001]

give it time. it will come back on

 

[94GTHO]

probably. wouldnt make those eliminators for nothing. but as for now.

 

[deftsound]

mine as well get an sct tuner instead and gain a few ponies

 

[mazen189]

if u have a diablo pred. tuner u can override the system.

other than that, who cares, its just a light

$10 says your back in here in less than a month saying the light came back on.

 

[94GTHO]

hahah we will see. even if it does come on, to me it is worth 3 bucks to try

Problem is that while that light being on for the rear O2s is fine. But, if there is another serious issue that develops, how would you know if the Service Engine light is always on?

those tuners should pull codes,so just check them once a week.
