Well, Pete's method will work, or you can buy the PDM O2 bung extension:
http://www.tarmac-usa.com/CandyPress...p?idproduct=74
www.boxer4racing.com sells them too, but they were out of stock when I ordered mine.
That screws right in, don't need to drill anything.
However.... mine doesn't eliminate the P0420 light for more than a couple days. Helps, but only temporarily. The MIL Eliminator (electronic fix) only works for cat-delete track pipes. If you use that and have a high-flow cat, you'll get a P0136 instead (voltage error). So don't.
The only fix is a propsed P0420 elimination that www.i-speed.us is reportedly working in to their next round of SRS-10 and SRS-20 ECU reflashes, due out in late summer or so.
