Which are you using right now? Are you just driving with a CEL on?

I would say go for the electrical fix if they're just going to check for CELs. Then I would say by an EM system so you don't have to worry about it and it will get you better power than your current set up.

Good question, I don't have a definitive answer for you on that one right now. Sorry.

I had my spacer on for almost 6 months with no codes. Then I got my AP so it wasn't necessary anymore. But, it's still there. I would go with the spacer. It's just a simple solution.

Just run the spacer so the o2 reads normal, besides it's only around $7 at any parts store.
