Try using both spacers. What sets the code is temperature not necessarily CO levels.

Already got the stock cat on and passed inspection, but thank you for the thought nonetheless

Fouler goes on the downstream sensor. Also years ago we used to put a resister into the o2 sensor wire to show that it was "heated" and didn't trigger the ecu.

This had worked for me from the start and never received a cel. good luck.
So Im not sure if you still have the car or not but whats the update on using the spacers or how did it turn out using them in the long run and how often did you get a cel or how long did it take for it to come back?

I cleared the code and hasn’t come back since, should I be worried or is it just the jb4 via Bluetooth app telling me I have catless? (er catless)
Ever get this solved?
