I have been very satisfied and paid $600ish total versus 3k for a GESI downpipe

Can you link us to the spacer you’re using?

Do you have a link to the shorter spacer you had success with? So odd there's no proven solution car to car.

I'm a few months in with mad 200 cells, not using any spacer and no CELs. Long spacers triggered the slow response CEL before I took those spacers off. I have a set of small spacers just in case I do see a CEL w the sensors direct mounted:

The sensor might bottom out on that spacer. I think it needs to be at least 36mm long.
