CEL P2241 Headers PPE
Bank 2 or the right hand side had a broken clip, so nothing was locking it together. We suspect that could be the culprit to the P2241. We de pinned and re pinned it with the clip from the extra extension harness that we removed, and now we've got P0051.
So what does this mean? nfi. i am not sure if its harness is cooked or the o2 sensor is cooked now.EDIT: turns out the one of the wires for the extension harness was not crimped in and got loose over time.
Had this pop up tonight out of nowhere. The extensions will make for a bit less of a headache than the sensors themselves and save time/money, so hoping that's all it is. Anyone used the Mercedes wrap mentioned in the video or any others to shore up the insulation and keep the wiring from getting cooked?

correct. In saying that, I hoisted up my car earlier today and we found out there was 2 extension harness plugged in, so 4 all up. We unplugged 1 extension on each side to clean it up. The current ones are heat shielded.

From what i have read, removing the extension harness is more of a hassle. Any form of heat shield is good, as long as its not touching the down pipe!

P2241 popped up couple weeks ago, thank you everyone who chimed in to this thread.
I went under the car to inspect, while my upstream sensors were replaced not too long ago, I was suspicious of the extension. I unplugged the connector that goes to the sensor, as the other one is pretty impossible to access with the thick Sikky V2 headers and an extra suspension brace.
Well, upon unplugging, bunch of sand crap came out of the connector, so I have blown some air through it used some electrical spray cleaner. I checked the live data stream, everything looked spot on and even for both banks. One week later, no cell, even the permanent P2241 is gone, so happy to report, it is all sorted.
So before replacing anything, given no obvious signs of damage, cleaning the bottom connection should be the first thing to try, hope this helps the next guy.
