ORIGINAL: NHARINTON

I did this for about 4 mths and it becomes a pain in the but cause the defoulers always come loose. For about $20 their is a little divice that goes in the wireing and does the trick. They are all over on ebay and it worked great for me!! Of course the best thing to do is what i ended up doing and paying for a obd 2 hi flow cat. then you have no probs and the engine can correctly adjust the fuel, spark and let you know if the cat is bad!!!
that is funny mine has never came loose I did not have problem with it for more than a year.

4. vise or something too hold it while you drill it

ok here is how the defouler looks mine is dirty since I just pulled it out of the car too take some pics

if you look at the defouler it will only have small hole on the one side like this


all you do isdrill it soand it shouldlook like this


you only need too drill one just make sure you make sure too get all the metal shavings out of the defouler before you install it.
Screw the drilled defouler into the non drilled one then screw that into the bung on your down pipe/cat
here is how is how it should look when your done



Where do you drill these holes? And do you have to use both non-foulers???

Would Locktite thread locker work for something like this, or is that a bad idea?
