Default O2 sensors

i have lt headers on my 01ss, my O2 sensors keep going bad (bank 2). is there anything i can do to fix the problem. or should i say is there a recommended brand of parts to use. my friend has a simimlar problem with his 02 firechicken. he replaced his and they went bad again in two days. Thanks

FYI with headers sometimes the O2s will throw codes, not because they are bad, but because some switching spec isn't met, it seems to be due to the relocation of the o2s, and the fact that the exhaust isn't as hot as it was in the stock cast iron manifolds. Some go with the vette rears, as they have a stronger heater than the fbody o2s (pn bosch 13111) you might think about picking up a pair, and seeing if that'll help
BTW you might want to post the code you're getting (get it scanned for free at autozone) then we can see if the o2 is bad, or if it's a common code due to the headers
