Those are spark plug foulers. Can be found anywhere, even ebay. These were tried long ago when x-pipes started coming out along with lambda adapters. General consensus is that it is a guessing game. Most ultimately end up wit a CEL, just with varying times of when it comes on. I wouldn't bother with them.

Yeah, but unless they seller has enough to conviction to offer a money back guarantee, I call B.S. as to it working. That little teenie tiny cat is not gonna do much at all!!!

Thats why I posted this..to see if anyone had any experience with this due to the fact there is no money back guarantee.

I've used the regular 02 sensor spacers and they've worked fine on my S2000s and my Evos , but I've never had success with them on BMWs. Didn't work at all on my E46 M3.

Big Daddy would not guarantee it when I asked.

Supersprint uses mini cat 02 extenders and tests its stuff and they work. May not be the same as Big Daddy version.

Worth a try in my opinion.

Do you have a link to the supersprint ones (assuming they sell them individually)?

They do not sell them individually...has to be with their test pipes and they are very expensive.

I tried regular Vibrant 02 extenders with restrictor fittings and they did not work.
