After I installed my Vararam I had my car retuned. Now it's seems that my O2 sensors are going crazy. It's throwing P1133 and P1153 codes at me. Sometimes just a P1153, others times just a P1133 and then both P1153 & P1133. At times, it takes 30 minutes for a code to come up and then somethings I takes 5 mins to throw a code. I do have lt headers with high flow cats. My question, turn off the O2 sensors, or replace with new ones. Any advice? Thanks for the replys!

I have the same setup and had the same problems. Your O2 sensors may be fouled and its best to get your car tuned because you may be running too rich or too lean one side or the other. Best bet is to get it tuned. In the mean time, disconnect the negative terminal for a bit and then put it back on. I hope this helps.

I had my Vararam first and then put on the headers with high flow cats.. I have never seen those codes so I don't know if they are realted to the Vararam install or not.
Good Luck getting it sorted....
