Angry O2 sims installed, still getting SES light!!

Current setup is SLP LT's w/free flow cats etc... (cats to be removed this week)
Installed O2 sims last year, still kept getting SES light! Kept clearing it with EFI live, still keeps coming back...I am still running with the cats, but that shouldn't make a diff. They are getting removed this week. I tucked the O2 sims up out of the way, is it possible that excessive heat will ruin them or make them send a bad signal to trigger an SES light? Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

What code are you getting? The problem might not be your rear O2s.

I am positive it is the Drivers side rear O2 that keeps triggering the code. I have EFI Live and that what it tells me, I have cleared the code 4 times now and it's fine for awhile, but then comes back if I start driving the car hard. ???

Default Switch 02 Sims

When your car cools off switch the rear sims to the oppisite side and see if you get the code for the right side, if you do you have a bad sim.
