2 ways....
one of wich i ahve right now and the other i will be switching to in the rnear future when i get a new rear 02 sensor.
right now i ahve a pony express MIL eliminator, its actualy for a ford/mazda, but it is the same sensor, it wires inline (www.ponyexpressperformance.com) there is one for ford/mazda and one for subaru, get wichever one has the same color wires you have, it works ok, but i have an intermittent short circut, so i still get a code now n then.
the second way is to use spark plug anti-fowlers, 2 of the stacked actualy, they are basicaly spacers and you put one into the other, drill the outer one to clear the dome on the 02 sensor, and put it in. this moves the sensour out of the main stream of exhaust flow and makes it think there are less emissions than there realy are, according to others this works very very well, ill be trying it soon. the spacers (anti-fowlers) i believe are made by a company called HELP!, they make cheap interior replacement parts and various random car stuff (mostly older american car stuff)
