Fun fact: if your fueling was way off because of the bad O2 sensor, it could have killed your brand-new catalytic converter. 02.gif

It's probably your cat. Most of the people here have always had a hard time finding aftermarket cats that are good enough to not trip up that code (yes, even magnaflows).
I have a magnaflow that barely works (it tripped up the code once or twice but once I cleared it was ok for a long while).
You can use a spark plug non-fouler to install the secondary O2 slightly outside of the stream and trick the ECU this way, DTN did this on his.
