Default P0420 and P0430

If I have these codes and will it be the upstream o2 sensors or downstream? Im trying to replace just to see if its just the sensors that are bad or my Catalytic converters. Ls2 2007 C6. Thanks!

Get your car professionally diagnosed instead of throwing parts at it…doubt both O2’s are bad and if it is your cats that is an “effect” and not a cause…cats just don’t go bad.

Is there a chance that the car is a new purchase? If so, the car may have headers and the cats are further down stream than stock.

I had the same problem and it turnout my right cat was clogged, I took it to a muffler shop, left cat registered below 200 degrees and the right over 400 degrees, had the right cat changed no more light.
