Basically what Bill said. It spaces your secondary O2 sensor further away from the stream of exhaust in your cat. Here are a few pictures to help you get a visual of what we're talking about.

Update: Went to the muffler shop...they pulled the same code (P0420). They pulled out the rear o2 sensor cleaned it off and reset the ECU. They said the cat seemed fine. I drove the car home, put 3/4 tank new gas in and the light came back on. Looks like I'm going back to the shop.

Ask them about the defouler. It sounds like that is your problem.

I guess he has money to burn. I'd rather waste my money on parts that actually make my car faster, hookers, and drugs. Fucking amateurs. :

What kind of cat did you get? Is it an OEM replacement or is it an aftermarket replacement?

Its strange that it took almost 1 year for this code to surface. I've had the cat since 4/30/09....

I had that problem with my high flow cat. Is yours a bolt on replacement, or did they cut your old one out and weld the new one in? I have a Magnaflow high flow cat and within a day, I had the same exact code. If you have a high flow cat, I'd just get the spark plug defouler and call it a day.

I have the high-flow cat. The old one was cut-out and new one welded in place. Why would this code be showing up 1 year after the new cat was installed. From your experience Tim, it would seem like this code would have shown up almost immediately after install.

It didn't show up immediately after I had mine installed. Honestly, I don't have an answer why it's happening now. My only suggestion would be the defouler.

It may not be the cat that is causing the code. A defouler may be the answer but, it's quite possiable that the O2 sensor could need to be changed also. I've seen a new O2 sensor fix this issue often in

You never know. Try and get the code if it comes back.
