hey RUSS (or anyone for that matter), can you help me with an issue!?

i had my AWE DPs and neuspeed exhaust installed recently. i know i have a leak somewhere with these pipes.

we found out that i was having a leak here, which is after the primary cats, and before the seconday cats:

we changed out those old clamps (you see above) and installed some new ones, checked the leakage of air, and all seemed well.

i currently know i still have a leak here, below. this is after the seconday cats, and where the DP cats meet the exhaust. the clamps suck, and i know i leak, but would this cause a CEL to occur? my thoughts are it would not trigger a CEL, since the O2 sensors are before the seconday cats.

and today, i got another CEL, and here is what is showed:

if you cant read the pic, is shows:

2 DTC's Found:
17585 - O2S Correction Behind Catalyst: B2: Limit Reached
35-00 - -
17584 - O2S Correction Behind Catalyst: B1: Limit Reached
35-00 - -

can you please tell me what i can do to remedy this issue or where exactly these codes are popping from? is there any chance the O2 senors could have been switched?

please advise, many thanks in advance...

Yeah it's possible they are switched.

But, before you do any swapping, let me look at my repair manual tomorrow at work for the full description of those fault codes as VAG-COM kinda changes up the wording, or leaves things out from time to time. Did you make any other changes to the car besides the exhaust?

I looked them up.

Try switching your rear O2 sensors, clear the codes, reset throttle adaption (01 ECM 04 basic settings, run channel 60) and drive it and see if it comes back.
