Default Sikky headers installed, throwing codes!! HELP

I just got my headers installed and check engine as well as check VSC came on, I believe it's either the O2 sensors or module for ecu that came with set up.. Codes read: P0051 bank 2 sensor ,
P2241 bank 2 sensor 1 and P2197 lean condition bank 2 sensor 1...I won't to make sure I buy the correct part to fix. Thanks!

Make sure the O2 sensor didn't get stripped or damaged when you were pulling it out. I had to buy new O2 sensors because they prone to strip or get damaged when you take them out. Didn't have CEL issue.

Ok thanks, raceism, I know it has to be either my o2 sensor or the sikky module, their both notorious for having issues, I'm just curious as to which exactly, based on the codes the cars reading...my mechanic said it's my module but I called sikky and their saying based on the codes it's the o2 sensors so I'm hoping to get the correct answer on here. Appreciate the feedback, any more would be greatly appreciated!

Basically one of 2 things happened. The mechanic damaged both of your o2 sensors when he removed them from the manifold (Probably didnt have the correct tool) or your module wasnt wired correctly. I assume the P0051 CEL is bank 2 sensor 2?

Correct, one of those two things happened no doubt. What I'm wondering is which one, I think I'm just gonna save myself the hassle and get the module which will run me about $100 and any recommendation on sensors or just go with OEM? The code P0051 is actually bank 2 sensor 1...I wanted to figure it out and not have to purchase both but I don't wanna stress over it anymore I was also wondering if it's bad to drive the way it is? Drives fine but no VSC and check engine light on...thanks guys

If an Isf thinks it's gonna hurt itself the car will be in limp mode long before it ever does
