threw these codes 2+ months ago

p2196
p2096

which from what i read are associated with an exhaust leak. this happened maybe 2 months after i installed my billyboat downpipe during the spring

little more back story, during the hurricane up here i snagged some branches under the car and that o2 sensor wire's external sleeving got cut. couldnt tell if the o2 wires themselves got cut

i scanned my car about a month ago and came up with more codes.

p0141, p0140, p2015, p0136, p2270 plus the original p2096 and p2196

couple of days later one of the clamps actually loosened up and the downpipe separated, made for a god awful loud exhaust and no power but i just banged everything back into place.

one of them, p2015 was intake manifold which i got replaced under warranty

now i rescanned it today and only left with p0141 and p0140 which

P0140 - 02 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 1, Sensor 2)
P0140 - O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1, Sensor 2)

safe to say the o2 sensor is gone and needs to be replaced? i assume fixing the exhaust leak got rid of p2096, p2196, p0136, p2270 codes. anyone have similar experience?

certainly sounds that way. I'd get them replaced just to be safe.
