The non-fouler is ONLY needed on the 2nd o2 sensor, which originally came after the primary cat.the first o2 sensor is completely different, and is used for fuel requirements at certain engine loads and speeds.you actually want that one properly reading exhaust gas.it has nothing to do with any catalysts.Īlso, fyi.the car originally has 2 catalysts.the header only removes the first one.you can use a header to replace the pre-cat, keep your 2nd cat.and be fine federal law wise.you still need to do the non-fouler thing though, or have a bung welded behind the 2nd cat and put the 2nd sensor there.but that would involve some pretty long ass wire splicing haha.

The non-fouler works because it first blocks enough stream from getting to the sensor head to make it realize there is no catalyst in front of it.but also keeps it on the piping and allows it to register the temp increase of the system.both work properly to 'fool' the ecu into never realized you pulled something out of it.

The non-fouler s a simple procedure of basically making a small housing that fits off of the exhaust pipe (at the 2nd o2 bung).which also houses the sensor head.the 2nd o2 sensor does two measures exhaust content in the stream to monitor catalyst performance, and measures 'warm up' of the exhaust piping with a heat sensor scaling through different voltages. If you have absolutely no emissions s doubtful you'd ever run into trouble with no cats.but just be advised it is federal law that any registered vehicle has at least one catalyst in its exhaust system.so if any cop decided to look at your whole system, you still could be fined for it.but its pretty unlikely anyone would have any reason to do that.
