It may be possible that the ECU is reading too many gasses. I wonder if a small sized washer could be put inside the defouler where it screws into the header? A washer with an outside diameter smaller than the inside diameter of the defouler, along with a smaller hole, could possibly trick the ECU into thinking the exhaust gas flow is fine. The washers would have to be very thin, something that is used on diecast model cars or the like. Just a thought.

I'm running fine now with just the ebay defouler and have been for about 500 miles. I doubled up before because the WeaponR was ridiculously hard to get off once the header was mounted, so I just threw the ebay defouler on the end of it. but that didn't work, so I toughed it up and crawled under the car. I had undo all three bolts on the exhaust flange, loosen and take off the WeaponR, and the put on the ebay defouler.....and this was with the car about 8 inches off the ground with one floor jack and no jack stands. Yeah....I'm really skinny (and sorta stupid to take the big risk of not supporting the car properly).
