Throwing CEL after installing Solo HFCs

I just installed the SOLO HFCs onto my LS3 and got a CEL, reading P0137. I was told different things such as it’s front or rear O2 sensors that’s not working properly. Would replacing them most likely fix the issue?

did you use a extender for both rear o2 sensers????if not that's what you need to do. the front ones don't use them its the rear that pics up if theres no cat or a modification change. by pulling them somewhat out of the pipe lowers the reading in them

with my JBA high flows, I used these to extend the O2 sensors so you don't get a code:

Have you gotten in touch with Solo yet? They may be able to offer some advice.

I emailed Solo as well. They said I could have a bad front sensor. But most people are telling me it’s the rear sensors.

Well I've always had CEL with my JBA mid pipes. Maybe the 90 degrees angles work better, but I had O2 extension and still had CEL. I just ignored em.

My thread on the issue. If you dont want to read...... solo 02 extenders still caused a CEL. I had to pair those extenders in addition to the bigdaddies angled extenders.

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=382179

I installed these cats in 2014, and still no CEL. Even had shorties on for a little, no CEL

Well hopefully it stays off. Mine is paired with BBK shorties. Work is 20 miles one way and hasn’t turned on since Tuesday.
I was advised to replace the steel wool in the extenders but I have not yet
