Mine comes on after about 50 miles...
A Z tuner told me that based on how many modifications I have made, this will not fix the problem.. and that a re-tune is needed. I have not yet tried the brillo, but I will let you guys know if it works.

It will still come on, i did it and stuffed it well. The first time just with foulers the SES light came on at 100 miles, the second time around i stuffed the foulers with brillo pad and it the light still came on at around 300. I'm going to clear the codes again and give it a third try, i read somewhere someone had done it a third time and the code hadn't come back on...

wow, i have an 06... got my test pipes installed in baton rouge... drove to new orleans that night and back to baton rouge... and then back home to shreveport the next day. still no CEL. and that was 2 1/2 weeks ago. and all we did was use the non foulers and then reset the ECU. =)

disconnect your battery over night. i too just put some metallic "lint trapper" stuff in the non-foulers, but have yet to reset my battery (which I'll probably do tonight). I'll report back once I reconnect.

Have you scanned the car to specifically find out what the CEL is? I assume you are using the non-foulers as well?

Guys i've checked my SES light codes and it's always the same code, so i've just learned the pedal sequence to resetting the ecu. My SES light comes on at about 200 miles after the reset. I have two anti foulers on each test pipe plus the brillo pad stuffing and still get the SES light.

This code seems to be a universal thing that scan tools at my local autoparts read p2A03. When i google it it comes out as 02 sensor bank 2 error which is the same thing the scan tool read when connected to the car.

Where there any other codes?
OK - found it..
P2A03O2 Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
That's an electrical issue...check it out...might need a sensor..

i wouldn't doubt that the prolonged exposure of the sensors to all the fumes in the testpipes messed them up. Wouldn't circuit range performance indicate that the sensor's readings are out of range and not necessarilly broken? Just quessing.
