Default o2 sensor ckt slow

ok so i did a massive burnout today... for fun.

right before i did the burnout i put it on a lift and used RTV gasket maker (hi temp) to seal up the connections between my Y pipe and the headers, as well as the joint in my 2piece Y pipe. sealed them up good and then put the stainless band clamps back over the joints reallly tight.

id say about 2:30 worth of tire shredding

till my tires were down to the threads...

abs light comes on and what not.. thats normal it does that at the drag strip sometimes

after about 20 miles im cruisn along (new tires of course) and my SES light pops on... wtf

go to advance.. code reader spits out 4 codes

1. p0133 02 sensor ckt slow bank 1 sensor 1
2. po153 02 sensor ckt slow bank 2 sensor 1

3. p0133 02 sensor ckt slow bank 1 sensor 1 (PENDING)
4. po153 02 sensor ckt slow bank 2 sensor 1 (PENDING)

what does this mean....

and how do i fix it?

should i just delete the codes using a reader thing and see if they come back or has my tire destruction caused some serious harm to my car?

Ok, well its likely doing a smokey didnt cause the codes, it basically means the computer isnt seeing the o2s respond like they should when it adds or subtracts fuel. I'll give you a couple causes. bad o2 sensors, an exhaust leak before the o2 sensors, defective o2 sensor heaters ( which means replace o2). But, I think your problem is the silicon sealer you used. RTV gives off vapor that will kill an o2 very fast, and considering both sides did it at the same time, thats my guess. I would run it for a few weeks to let all the vapor burn off, then I'd replace both front o2 sensors. If you clear the code it will probably come back, but try that first. If not replace the o2s. Later.

no guarentee thats your prob but I have seen it happen before and GM does have a tsb specifically stating that. First just try to clear the codes and see if they come back.
