I have a 2014 mustang. I recently removed the midpipe from the car and installed two oxygen sensor j style defoulers. The purpose of these devices is to pull the sensor out of the stream for emissions issues.

These defoulers have "jets" or pills clipped into them. I used permatex high temp red 81160 around the pill to keep it from rattling.
These oxygen sensors are close to this rtv and are also upstream directly from it. I am now reading that this is not safe to use with them. Not a real happy camper about this. I had no idea and there was nothing on the tube stating not safe for sensors. I have already put 50 miles on the car since the install.
How big of a deal is this? This area while close to the sensors is post combustion. I'm not sure if this makes a difference or not.
