Iceman did mine initially, but only using one anti fouler. I added the second since I got the CEL again. For MY06+ two seems to be the magic number.

thanks criticism welcome
Okay here's my criticism:

Tell people to check the direction on the ratchet or we're gonna hear stories of "I went to drill and the drill grabbed on a weird angle, sent the ratchet flying and it hit my car. On a different note, anyone have an AP2 right headlight for sale?"

Aside from that it all looks pretty complete to me!!

Umm, they make this thing called a vise, much safer than a socket and wrench. but I guess if you need to make do that will work too.

Updating this thread. My car is the one Iceman is speaking about in his post.
Well... 2 antifoulers is NOT the magic number for MY06+ cars.
I'm so tired of it, I've put my OEM cat back on, and am eventually going to get a Berk HFC.
I can't stand continuously having to pull the O2 sensor and clean it off. (and the TP turning my exhaust tips gold )

The best thing to do with a TP for MY06+ cars is to find a closed adapter to put it in it for the o2 sensor to go in (if there is such a creature)

I just had my MY06 throw a code for the primary 02 sensor. Do you guys recommend me try doing this or just buy a new one?

A little off topic but related:

Are there any test pipes that retain the factory heat shielding? I'm sure a lot of people in GA would like to run a tp, but emissions testers are required to visually confirm the cat is there. I figure if someone can make this look factory and use this fix, then the tester would be none the wiser.

Not that I would do it, I'm just asking... haha!

actually the O2 sensor that went bad is the 1st one that's attached to the exhaust manifold, not the one after the catalytic converter. I'm not running a test pipe. Do you still think it's just fouled up? I may just pull it out to take a look at it first. if it's ok, do you think doing all this to that particular O2 sensor will help?
