For those that don't know, they are made for spark plugs to sit the plug out of the cylinder a bit which helps them not foul in a richly running motor.
It's basically a spacer. I would hate to be damaging my O2 sensors since there are no cats there. Better explanation (grammar excluded) here:

-Spark Plug non-fouler (aka Spark Plug defouler)-By installing the spark plug non-fouler, you are in essence moving the rear 02 sensor out of the direct flow of the exhaust stream/flow. By doing so, you are tricking the 02 sensor will an inaccurate reading. Since the 02 sensors is not directly in the path of the exhaust fumes, it can not accurate measure the exhaust fumes.

Can some one clarify, as I might be missing something here.
What i get form this is we have:
- a spark plug spacer, lifts the spark plug out of the cylinder slightly to reduce fouling in a rich environment?
How does this affect the 02 sensor?
Or do you lift the O2 sensor?
How does this prevent fouling of the spark plug, if you are getting incorrect readings from the O2 anyway as a result of this?
