it restricts the amount of exhaust that gets to the second o2 sensor. This gives it a higher AFR reading. This simulates the cat doing its job when its not there

so now lets say i do this, could it potentially cause tuning issues because the ecu is reading incorrect data and adjusting a/f ratio off of it, or does the ecu only adjust a/f according to the first o2 sensor?
i think im gonna try it.

Im so confused by what your saying. .......This is how it should be.

First O2 sensor in manifold closest to the cyl head

Second O2 sensor further down pipe , past cat converter( if you have one )THIS IS THE ONE THE FOULERS SHOULD BE ON AND YES IT MUST BE DRILLED OUT OR THE O2 SENSOR WOUNT FIT IN IT!
Third O2 sensor......... Unless its a wideband i have NO idea what your talking about
