I bought 2 for mine cause it has 4 02 sensors, one on each side before the cats and one on each side after the cats. I think your car only has 2 o2 sensors since there's only one pipe. If that's the case, you just need one and put it after the cat. What happens when you remove the cats or put a high flow cat, the secondary O2 sensor senses too much oxygen and thinks the car is running way to lean so it tries to compensate by dumping a ton of fuel to make the air fuel mixture more rich. This in turn causes horrible gas mileage and the car seems like something is off, it runs pretty good but you can just feel that it's just not where it should be. This mini cat O2 spacer will divert a small amount of air flow to the O2 sensor and in turn give it the correct reading that the cat or cats are working like they should and it'll lean out your air fuel ratio and you'll see what I mean as soon as you take it for a test drive. I never even had to clear a check engine light after I put them in. It blew some black smoke out when I first cranked it but it's running better than ever now. Shifts are crisper and smoother. Too most folks they don't notice and say well it's still super loud but you'll definitely notice how much better it sounds. One last tip, when you install it, use thread lock or lock tight and make sure you get it in there really tight and same with the O2 sensor so there's no leak. And make sure not to have the wires for the O2 sensor all twisted up, either unclip the wire for it or twist the O2 sensor backwards 3-4 times then screw it in so that way once it's in the wires goin in the O2 sensor won't be twisted, this is important because the sensor actually breathes through the top where the wires come into it so hopefully that helps you out and kind of gives you a little background info on how that stuff works and why as well. Just let me know if you got any more questions about this or anything else
