Did you actually check the code? P2237 is O2 sensor heater circuit is open or shorted causing the circuit voltage control to be open. That means either it's not connected, something is wrong with the O2 sensor, maybe wrong one or there's some problem with the wiring. The heater circuit is part of the O2 sensor so you have a problem somewhere between the O2 sensor and the other end of that wire. Basically double check the work and make sure the correct sensor was installed. Or it has something to do with the straight pipe and whatever was done to bypass emissions if any. I like to breathe and I like others to be able to do the same so I don't play with the stock exhaust.

Means I don't know what you did when you said you straight piped the car. Did you gut the cats and straight piped the entire exhaust? If someone did it for you, they probably did some kind of MIL eliminator setup on it and that probably had something to do with the old O2 sensors. Or you didn't gut the cats and just got bad O2 sensors. Lots of fakes out there especially on places like eBay and Amazon. It's a lot easier to repair things when they haven't been modded in the first place.

Well you don't need O2 sensors when there's no cats! There's usually some work around to make it work with no cats. Probably some special setup which you disturbed by changing the O2 sensors. So no idea, go back to whoever did it.
