Just one. The O2 sensor to the front screws directly into the bung on the header. The rear 02 bung is where you screw in the defouler. After you put in the defouler, screw your O2 sensor into it.

I have a question...is the angled defouler required? Or will a standard defouler, home made, fit?

Oh, and you can go right to weapon R's website and get it as well....feel better doing that personally :)

It says "for use with weapon R header only"...never mind! 02 sensors are all he same :)

I wonder what the BLOX one is made of. Also...King Motorsports Unlimited, Inc. has titanium ones :)

Another hero here on the bolt on forum. Thanks for helping fellow members out. We got to get this community modded out.

As I keep saying, it takes a village to mod a Civic. This is what makes this site the fantastic place it it is.

I have one more Q on this topic...do you HAVE to have the angled defouler, or will a straight work?

Thanks for all the posts on this guys!

It depends on which RH you're running. I think the DCRH is the only one you can use the straight de-fouler on.

Angled is better because the O2 sensor can face forwards or backwards. With a straight defouler, the O2 sensor wires will be too close to the heat shield.

I just amde mine the other day too, my BCRH should be here shortly.

Thanks nitrous....and I'll be running the NON cat Vibrant I do believe :)

Yes, it's like the cardinals choosing the new Pope...I think the white smoke it about to hit the sky

Vibrant header (no cat) and Vibrant exhaust with additional 18" resonator! Call the Press!!!!

I made my own with the DIY. Installed with the Vibrant RH the O2 sensor made contact with the chassis easily. Too little clearance to allow for engine movement. I then tried only one of the two defoulers (instead of both stacked on each other) to get more clearance and even then it makes contact. On top of that I got a CEL. I need an angled one ASAP.

The angled defouler is the only way to go. Mattsbobo, who has a Vibrant RH, ordered the Weapon R. While it is angled, he said that it is really large. I got mine from Excelerate. The straight defouler hits the heat shield and doesn't give enough room.

Contact either Robear or SCTuned. Both are looking for angled defoulers that they can sell.

Mattsbobo just got his. He is a little concerned that he won't be able to get it to fit now that the RH is installed. Apparently, the angled part is a lot longer than what Strutking was selling.

Contact either Robear or SCTuned. Both said they would get on it and try and provide angled defoulers for sale.
