I then went to the hardware store and bought a set of brass caps to fit on the end where the hole is. The end of the O2 sensor is a tad bigger than the bottom of the anti-foul adapter because it tapers where the second set of threads is on the bottom. A few seconds with a drill on a drill press to enlarge the area at the bottom of the inside so the O2 sensor will fit inside the adapter. Screw the unit onto the end of the O2 sensor, clear the codes and Bob's your uncle. No more CELs.

I understood everything you just said above. SOOoooooooo, if I wanted to let's say, get some bypass pipes instead of some new cats (keeping the old ones of course...on the shelf), sounds like this little trick does the job? Of course, you have a 3.6 with I'm sure a mod'd ECU and mine is a stock 2.5. Hmmm.
