My test pipes are here. So I am going to be trying a few things to see if I can finally make a permanent fix. I will keep you guys all posted. I am heading to Atlanta this week so that is going to put me behind a few days. I have to wait for my gaskets from berk to get here also. I am hitting up Lowes tomorrow morning to buy a few things and then start the testing. Will update asap.

 

i had test pipes and the non- fouler's i made with brillo dident work to well. i now have high flow cats and when its warm there is no cel but when its cold there is this is with no non- fouler's so just move to florida you will be fine .

 

i never had a problem with the brillo. but i am trying to look for something that will last the life of the car if you install them. idk if its going to work but ill find out.

 

I've heard that these will work when the stacked non foulers with brillo and everything don't work



Worth looking into.

 

nah the brillo works fine for me. i traded my stock cats for my old high flow cats back. i had already stuffed these but, i have exhaust leak out the *** till my new gaskets get here. I bought the supplies today if i don't throw a cel from the leakages i will start trying it out.

 

Brillo works fine for me. Even passed emissions inspection.

 

Works fine for me also but want a permanent fix. Once I find if its going to work or not ill pass the info on to everyone

 

Where can these be found?

 

EBay but they will not work either

 

I stuffed my berk tp's with really fine brillo and I'm at like 8000 miles and no light. Passed emissions too. Running Berk TP's w/ HKS Exhaust

 

Tried a mini "cat" extension that I found on the internet for $50 a piece....didn't work. They were pretty much spark plug non foulers with a filament the same as a normal cat. Supposedly the gasses reaching the o2 sensor would be catalyzed and not throw a code. When these didnt work I smashed the filament out and packed them really tight with steel wool from home depot, 2nd to finest material they sold, and they worked. 2500 mi no light. So if anyone comes across a site selling these dont buy em they are a waste of money. Just use the spark plug non foulers pack it really tight and you shouldnt have a prob

 

lowes did not have the stuff i needed so i had to order my materials off the internet. hopefully will be here this week and i can post positive results after a few thousand miles.

 

Definitely interested in the results...keep us updated!

 

Please write a descriptive review

 

try to source something else as the first test did not go well. lol what i tried to use melted.

 

Haha don't give up! I have 2 sets of test pipes, I've never installed because my emissions was coming up. Dang CEL !

 

So you gonna clue us in on your secret method or wait to see if it works first? =P

Why isn't Brillo/steel wool a permanent fix? I've never tried it..

 

the brillo will eventually rust away from the moisture that gets in your exhaust. i am trying steel mesh. i tried 325 mesh but it just shriveled up. im am going to try some faucet screen. a few of those might work and use a spring to hold them in place. not sure how its going to work but i am gonna try.

 

So I take it you aren't tuned?

 

nope. whats that have to do with me trying to fix a problem us hr owners have. hope to be @ forged within the next week or 2. Have to go pick my buddies tt from forged and getting mine tuned while up their.
