yeah dude, 1500 miles broken in yesterday. I went to willow springs to a drift event and back home. NO CEL. just weld the hole shut on the first Sparkplug Fouler, and Drill a 1/8" Hole there and Stuff 00 Brillo Padding from homedepot. and you should be good. ever since i had my car i never had all the warning lights turned off lol. it feels so nice to drive on testpipes without a CEL. and people think my car is stock haha I'll post some pictures later.

I tried the double stack method and CEL after 200 miles however jacked the car back up removed one of the non foulers (the bottom undrilled one) and just kept the drilled ones in and disconnected the battery and then reset the ecu through the ecu reset/idle relern proceedure 2k miles later still no ecu running rich though but just bought an accessport and going to lean that bad girl out.but in summation I was getting the CEL when I had them stacked but with just one no CEL

I run the TD Borla with custom resonated straight pipes, and intense power non resonated Test Pipes. I don't feel its a big deal about a light anyway if the car performs better and you don't plan to sell it? Its when smog check and selling it when its going to matter IMHO.

That is true and I got a good power increase without a tune and more throttle response after shitting especially from 2nd to 3rd gear I cant wait till I tune and I might be throwing NO in it but I dont know if you can retard the timing with a cobb accessport if so I will run a 50-75 shot

i have a 2006 without defoulers and threw the P0420 and P0430, even reset ecu few times and still there, the car's running rich and sometimes it dips the rev's while idling, havent felt that increase of performance that you mention, so i dont think is only a "light" only

I used to have an ms3 tuned with Cobb ap, which you are indeed able to pull timing, so I assume with access tuner race ( atr) you should be able to do the same for a z.
