Default CEL Fix kit question

I'm gonna buy a CEL fix kit for my headers off of ebay. Does is matter that the actual piece is curved (cornered, or shaped like an L) or not? because all of the ones ive seen on here are curved or in the L shape.

Does it matter??

dude do yourself a favor and just go to autozone and buy a pack of two anti foulers. drill a 1/2" hole into one of them. install the o2 sensor into the fouler with the hole drilled. next install the o2 sensor with the first anti fouler into the second one that is not drilled. it will have a hole in it but you don't drill that one. the only reason you drill the first is to fit the tip of the o2 sensor into it. now that you have all 3 pcs. together reinstall it into your exhaust. (by the way you want to do this with the o2 sensor in your s-pipe not the manifold.)

now just get the cel erased with a code scanner or unhook the negative battery cable for 10-15min. after that you should be fine. my car is turbo with no cats at all and i have over 300 miles on my anti fouler and still no cel. plus i just passed my emissions test this past fri. like that.

1) i have megan headers... 1 pack of fouler is not enough.. it CEL came back on the same day.. so now im using 1 and a half pack (3 piece) of foulers... i hope this will be enough..
2) u dont have to wait 10 minutes with the resetting.. i unplugged my cable for 1 minute and the cel id gone...



oh and when u unplugged your batter.. after that all your windows will not work.. so you have to roll down your windows.. roll it up and keep pulling the button for a few sec.. same thing with the sunroof...

i'm only using the two pieces that come in one pack. it shouldn't need to be in an L shape. mine is straight and has plenty of room. maybe it all depends on the s-pipe that your using. i have the invidia and plenty of room. i could add more if i wanted to with no problem but don't need to.

i have had the anti fouler on my car for over 300 miles and no cel light after runnng with it for over a year. and that is with no cats at all in the car.
