Anti-Seize is ideal for all threaded connections that are subject to heat, corrosion, or repeated assembly and disassembly such as spark plugs in aluminum cylinder heads, head bolts, connecting rod bolts, exhaust manifold bolts and flanges, turbochargers, and break assemblies. It will extend the life of all components while simplifying maintenance.

Just a word of advice: don't panic if it comes on at first

I only made it 2 miles down the road before a cel, but it may have been some cleaner or debris from the installation/drilling of the anti foulers..... because the next day I drove a few more miles and the light was gone..... 11 runs at the drag strip and 60 miles later, still no cel

of course now that I posted this it will probably come back on

Thanks, I read this How-to long ago and it works on my '01 Mirage.
It cleared my P0421 problem. Thumbs up to the one who figured it out.

There are 2 O2 sensors on the Evo. The first is before the cat and the second is after the cat. You do not need to worry about the first.

As far as using 2 anti-foulers you are basically stepping the O2 sensor further out so that it sees even less air from the exhaust flow and hence less likely to give a SES light.

On the IX, there is an 02 on the actual cat...

I was more talking about what I should use to plug the 02 which came on my catback cause my testpipe also has an 02 port (for the IX)

If you go to the manufacturer of the exhaust, assuming you bought it new, you might be able to get a plug. Otherwise this is one I found -- the plug is standard and should fit. Good luck

i had a member pm with a couple questions that might help others out

q
"Are you saying to do this for both the catback and for the testpipe so that the o2 sensor reads further away from the exhaust?"

a
since you have a 9 , you would need to do the o2 fix to the test pipe bung, or to the catback that has a bung after the test pipe without one.

using the stock 9 cat, you will not need the fix. even with a different downpipe


q
"what would happen if I were to just scew in the 02 sensor to my catback and get a testpipe without and 02 bung (the IX's have an 02 port on their cat)?"

a
it would throw a code and your exhaust would now look like/designed all evo 8s with the same problem after switch out the stock cat.
which have the bung for the o2 sensor after the cat and on the straight/intermediate pipe
