Fast Intentions

tell me more, im not sure about any of that stuff. please.

300 or 200 Cell? Do they have J shaped o2 bungs? 300 cell usually, do not trip CEL's.

Steel Wool - mid grade, place in o2 sensor bung before installing o2 sensor. Prevents most of the gas flow from hitting the sensor, helps hide bad gasses.

Defoulers - small sections of tubing that screw into the o2 sensor bung and place the o2 sensor about 4" farther out of the gas flow. Helps hide bad gasses.


Personally, if you were going to do it, I'd do both for good measure.

Some people pack steel wool in the O2 bungs to filter the exhaust gasses and trick the sensors. The defoulers just back the O2 sensor farther out of the exhaust stream for a similar effect.

The latter is probably better for longevity. I'd imagine the steel wool would rust away after a while.

Cwiz beat me to it. :yum:

ahhh man, thank you guys.. my HFCs have the J bung. So you're saying stick steel wool in the actual J bung?

I've had the Steel Wool myself now for going on almost 2 years, no visible signs of rust or wool falling out the back end. And no CEL's.

Headers myself, J bungs are attached, but I still wanted the comfort.

That demon bolt was HUGE pain in the azz.. by the way.

You can pick up that steel wool from home depot im guessing?

Yes, remove your o2 sensor, (carefully, don't want to mess up the threads), and get some MID-coarseness (it's what I used, worked so far), pack about a quarter sized amount in, you don't want to completely block it, but enough so you can't really see through, and push it down almost all the way in so you can put the o2 sensor back in without having them touching. :tup:

Yeah you can get it at any hardware store

Home Depot
Lowes
Walmart
Ace Hardware
Hell even Auto Zone or O'reilys should have it..

Done deal, Chris, thank you soo much man, will that reset the SES/CEL? Do I still need to go to the dealer to have it reset?

Most car parts stores will have a code reader and will read them for free, and can also delete them. Or if you have to get your emissions inspected in MD/VA, you can go to an emissions shop and they can check/clear it.

The last time mine came on, I restarted the car and the CEL was there. Drove it home and went to bed. Got up next morning and the CEL was gone. It might take a few cranks to clear it after the code has been removed.

Yeah it would probably clear itself after some driving.

I just go to AutoZone myself, free reads, and clears. :tup:

Ok, awesome, thanks guys. Hey Steve, what about them foulers, what is that?

It's just a bung extender. Don't need it if you already have the J

k... Thanks Red, dude, I appreciate it!

I had an SES light come up a couple months after installing my HFCs. My cousin cleared it for me and it came back like a week or two later. He cleared it again and it hasn't been back since. I did absolutely nothing to the HFC's in that time period, but they did already have the bung extensions.

Thanks for elaborating blades.. im hoping i can fix it and have no issues too.

Yeah I wouldn't stress about it too much. Mine just went away on its own.

I like them, its pretty cool, I gotta say that demon bolt was NASTY....fuuuuck.

Damn dude... Keep that sort of extracurricular activities on the downlow... You might get steve excited... And you know what that means... :ugh2:



A rough night for blades..

It sounds like you fellas had fun even though it was bone chilly outside.

More hand holding is required next time

Two words Randy: because racecar :driving:

:iagree: :yum:

Hey steve or chris.. I got a question for you guys. I ran the Z today and I noticed when I revved her up to about 5k rpm, and let off the accelerator, there was a very fast winding noise. Is this normal with HFCs?

If you're talking about a hissing noise then yes it's normal.
