Antifoulers screw into your converter bungs and act as a spacer to pull the 02's further away from the exhaust flow. It helps people with headers and cams pass because with headers and cams the exhaust flows more readily than the stock ECM was programmed to see.

Thank you, I understand that now. I see the reader on Amazon for ~$60 and the anti-foulers for $15 at Brenspeed so I'll pick those up.

As for cats, do I have to spend the extra $80 on Metallic versus Ceramic? I'm only using them to pass the test then they'll be taken back off.
