thx man for the pdf file but i couldnt read it. My word programe is messed up.Its like alian language. Could you give me a better explenation about the code.
I just did a mid pipe swap.I cleared the code with Xcal2 and i got it one more time , and when i cleared it again i didnt get it again.Is it gone for good , or will it throw that code again? and how to solve it if it did throw it again ?

Ok my guess is you have a slight exhaust leak Driver side and you will want to get it fixed. that is the front o2 sensor telling the computer car is Lean which is not a really good thing. Cause it may pull TOO much fuel. Mine was throwing codes like this after I hit a deer carcase a ripped my prochamber away from Driver side manifold.

well , right after install we checked for leaks but couldnt find any!!!
could it be something else?
could it be because i just did the install today and the code might fade after a few days?

Most the times you have to retighten exhaust after a few heat cycles.
It's possible you have an O2 sensor going out, switch sides and see if you throw a code for that side. IMO I wouldn't crack on it while throwing a code for the front O2 sensors.
My gut feeling is you have a small exhaust leak though.
