Default P0420 & P0430 Help!!!!!

Well it started off being just P0141 (o2 sensor) and then before I could fix the O2 sensor, The codes P0420 and P0430 came up also. I replaced the O2 sensor and cleared all of the codes and a few key cycles later these two codes came right back.

The codes mean Catalyst System Low Efficiency Bank 1&2

What does it mean?
Will they go away by themself?
How can I keep them from coming up/ fix the Problem?

Thanks for all input.

P0420/P0430 are catalytic converter low efficiency codes.

Since you sig says "MAC ORY Pipe (catless)" I am assuming they are the cause of the issue.

P0141 is the post-cat drivers side 02 heater circuit, which one did you replace? Are you running sims?

You don't have cats, so why would you even have the codes enabled? Turn them off. It's pretty standard to turn them off when you have a high flow cat anyways.
