It also relieves you of the annoying service engine light, but a bad part is a bad part and it will come back to haunt you later, right? And yes, i do realize that cats take some time to hinder or incapacitate your vehicle. I'm the first to admit that i'm far from an expert on Honda's, but explain to me how this gets you BETTER gas milege, assuming that your cat is getting fudged up and needs replacing soon? By the way, i did read the thread and dismissed it as being another craptaculous fix that is sure to bite you in the ass later down the line. I'de like to see some testimonials of long-term use

. F U Mr. o2 Sensor! I will blind fold dat @zz and tell the ecu you're really doing A OK. :bs:
its a crap fix but yet there are a ton of people that do it on their imports not just hondas. I've had the O2 defouler on my car for over 3 years without a problem, and I still get about 380-400 miles on a tank of gas it odviously doesn't work.
