I've got the exact same cel (420), new cat and o2 sensors as well. As far as I can tell the computer just doesnt like the high flow cats. I have (forget the brand) similar cat to the magnaflow. The cel was fine till the o2 needed to be replaced.
My sugestion is to spend the money on the o2 simulator instead of the actual sensor, might be the only way to rid yourself of this code.
