Thanks. I'm just hoping it works.

I'm waiting for my catback to get here, from Juiced Motorsports. I can't wait!!

I have a pair of the extenders that came with my obx headers. I didn't use them because I was getting a tune just a few days later. But if what you got doesn't work you are welcome to try these.
Good luck

Please keep us posted if the extenders worked for you - I have a 2012 SS Vert 45th Edition that I added BBK Long Tube Headers with the high performance Cats and I'm throwing errors. I looked at the extenders and because I have a steel mounting plate right across from the rear O2 sensors they will not allow me to install the plugs unless I turn the cats downward towards the ground a bit which would risk the ground clearance on the O2 sensors. I failed Emmisions so looking to do the Tune option now - Just ran out of Inspection and State refused to give me a exception. :(

Yes the Extenders work. Ive put over 300 mile son my car since the off road pipes were installed and I have yet to get a CEL. I bought a tuner from JRE though as the AFM on my car makes a really annoying vibration at low speeds when the AFM kicks on.


In short, they do work

Yeah the stock exhaust without cats is like a sleeper exhaust. At idle and cruising down the road you don't even notice it, but when you get on the throttle it opens up big time.

I just can't wait to get the JBA cat back tomorrow and get my tuner Wednesday to turn AFM off

You can also use long spark plug antifoulers. 4 bucks, used them on my ridiculously modified 04 STi and never ever had a problem. Drill out the end with 1/4 drill bit and ur good to go.

Spark plug antifoulers worked for me with my long tube headers and off road pipes. No CEL.

Forgive my ignorance, but do you screw the anti foulers in the exhaust bung then screw 02 sensors into them? What then needs drilled out? Going catless shortly and this sounds perfect

You're trying to tweak in the perfect amount of exhaust gas to fool the sensor. You put the fouler in first, then put the sensor in the back side of the fouler.
