Question IX owners and antiflouler CEL fix?

Okay I have an HKS hi-power and a megan test pipe. The bung for the hks wouldwork except the antifouler would make the o2 sensor too long and not clear. The bung on the megan test pipe is angled toward the groung making the antifouler and o2 sensor too long and too close to the ground. Who has a IX and uses the antifouler for the cel fix and which exhaust and or test pipe do you use? Pics would be helpful. Thanks

If you try to put the antifouler extension on it would be too long and hit

Megan test pipe and HKS/RNR Carbon-Ti catback with no clearance issues. Anti-foulers installed on the exhaust, though.

why did you weld a bung in the first place put your anti fouler in your exhaust pipe ? I mean maybe if I'm wrong are you thinking just because ix have the 02 sensor in the cat means it has to be in the same place correct me if I'm wrong I'm not trying to accuse you of anything just asking

He didn't weld a bung, the HKS cat back has a bung welded onto it already.

As he said above, if you have a bung on the test pipe already try flipping it over.

FWIW I had the same problem on my car. You can use 1 anti fouler but if you try to use 2 you will run into the clerance problems you mention. I tried using one on my car and it did not work. My test pipe did not have a bung on it so I welded one on there that gave me enough clearance to run two anti foulers. This is on a HKS exhaust like yours.

I have 2 anti-foulers in my HKS cat-back bung... the O2 sensor does rest against the underside of the car, but it fits. Haven't had a problem with it for about 6 months now.
