I got mine from Weapon R...

I forgot to mention that it's not possible to screw the WR defouler into an already mounted race header. This defouler is huge! However, I'd hold off for SCTuned.....I have a feeling his suprise is their defouler.

So do I...hopefully I'll have better luck than with my Weapon R. I'm thinking of just piggybacking this one off of my Weapon R (because it's gonna be too much of a pain to remove the WR). Anyone see any problems with this?

You might have to extend the O2 sensor wires...not sure about clearance either...

Just threw a CEL. took it to get scanned and it says "O2 sensor". I already have a Blox defouler on the secondary fitting, do I need one on the fitting closer to the block also?

IIRC, putting a defouler on the first sensor is highly UNrecommended. This sensor is used by the ECU to help determine the AFR for the car, so you probably wouldn't want incorrect readings. I think you should leave this one alone.

I do have a question for you though as I am having the same problem as you. I am using the Weapon R defouler, but the entire inner diameter of the defouler is consistent. I've seen a couple pics of the eBay defouler and it looks like one end of it (threaded end) is almost completely closed off to only allow a small amount of exhaust in. Does your Blox defouler look like that....or is it similar to my Weapon R?

the blox is actually not an angled one. it is a straight one.

i have that same angled defouler from ebay. works like a charm. it does have a small opening just like the 'help' defoulers from autozone to let less exhaust get to the o2 sensor. took the guy like 8 days to ship but well worth the $25.
