I'm assuming it's your catalitic converter. It may be clogged.

Try a new rear O2 sensor. If it still comes up you may have to replace the cat or delete it. If you get a straight pipe instead of the cat you need to tune it out or get a rear O2 simulator.

Just a guess on my part, just giving you some ideas of some things to check.

He is right.. My cat was F%#ked so I just cut it out completely.. I got that code a few times.. When they cut my cat out it was clogged with Gunk... Then I tuned the codes out and no problems.. I was going to do the cat anyways, that just gave me my push. ;) ...
