Big Daddies Garage o2 Simulator
(Mini Cat O2 Sensor CEL FIX)
Has anyone used these yet for their catless downpipe? I’m noticing a issue where when you use the washers given plus the one already on the o2 sensor that is instructed to use you will hit the honey comb and break It. So you need to use both washers that were given just for one but then there is almost no thread left so you have to lock tight It and u also lose the other washer. Not sure if it’s normally like this or if other had this issue! Would like some feedback on It. |

I haven't installed these yet but will in the next few weeks when I receive my downpipes. Did you contact big daddies garage about it?

I followed the instructions and haven't noticed an issue. Didn't pay attention to thread engagement but was able to torque. Will check if they're loose next tike under it.

Anyone had issues ordering? They asked me to confirm that I wouldn't use them in street driving and blah blah. I said I understood. Then the email me saying confirm AND agree. So I confirmed and agreed.
Received a confirmation of shipping. Then couple hours later I fucking got a refund and 10.00 restocking fee. WTF?

I have them installed with project gamma catless dps. No Cel's over 1000 miles later. Also ordered them for the Lamborghini and they showed up within 3 days.

Yeah, they work pretty well. Once in a while the spacers can still cause a CEL for the oxygen sensor not being up to temp, but it's really rare.
Alternatively, you can use a downpipe that already has the mini catalyst built in. Rally Road and R44 sell a version... https://rallyroad.net/products/s58-b...wnpipe-non-cel |

This isn't the case on the No CEL downpipes that have the small catalyst built in. It's just required when using the no cat pipes and a bigdaddy type spacer. Added a picture for more explanation... Last edited by EMC; 12-04-2022 at 12:15 AM.. |

Mine arrived with washers taped in place and a big note that said it must be installed with provided washers. This ensures clearance.

The provided washers certainly didn't preclude contact of the O2 sensor tip with the cat element for me. I ended up finding some similar washers with some sort of "spark plug anti fouling spacer" from O'Reilly's. BDG provided washers are 2 mm thick. Washers I found are 3.25 mm. I used the stock washer plus the 3.25 mm one and that kept the O2 sensor tip from touching the element while still leaving enough thread engagement for me to feel like the install was solid.
