do you know if the spacer goes in the upstream hole closest to turbo side or the hole closest to the exhaust and vband to exhaust side ?

I have no personal experience with using o2 extenders or mini o2 cats. However, it’s the post-cat o2 locations (the holes closest to the midpipe/exhaust).

O2 spacers don’t seem to work with late model BMW. There are mini-cat O2 spacers that also have mixed results though I like the theory better.

The upstream, or O2-1 is the O2 that matters... The second one is just measuring difference pre and post cat. But O2-1 is measuring what the engine is doing, ie, fuel ratio, efficiency of burn cycle, ie, making sure engine air/fuel is reaching stoich...
Depending on what your tolerance is, there are ways to try and prevent the code while catless. Not sure on tuning availability with this platform but some 'older' platforms allowed for the turning off of code checks via the ECU, and would report all as normal. Not a good idea while driving of course, but for certain diagnostics, worked great. Get what I mean!? Unfortunately, newer ECU's or the programmers might not tweak these sections of an ECU either, so there's that. Down pipe really isn't hard to pop in/out and as a last resort, could just get the car up in the air, swap out the DP, drop a stock tune on it and get it inspected. Price of doing business... Gotta PAY if ya wanna PLAY! Sometimes there's no easy way, but there's still a way! Good Luck |

*UPDATE * Anybody that said you couldn't pass with Catless downpipe AND A Tune was spreading misinformation. if your rocking a downpipe with MHD just click aftermarket downpipe in the MHD Menu. Drive around to ready the monitors and go get it inspected. Super simple

My issue with this sort of discussion in a public domain is not the FBI knocking down your door at 4AM, it's that the government might pick up on what people are doing to get around it and then make it harder to get around it. E.g. Adding a way for the OBDII software to compare the software checksums between stock and aftermarket tunes. This is already a reality in California. |
