Current mods:
OBX-R headers w/ O2 sim
NWP spacers
Block off plate
Tsundo 2.5" catback
17* Adv timing
I ONLY RUN PREMIUM
Now I have codes
P0138
P0158
P0420
What should I do?? I suspect that my cat is clogged or close is that my prob??
If i straight pipe? Gut the cat? what would it sound like?? I have all aftermarket exhaust except my axle back is stock.

I would suspect the PreCat is the problem, a bit surprised to see the two O2 rear sensor code considering they are simulated ... however the P0420 is pointing to a problem with the Precat Catalyst system below threshold. You could go with a test pipe in place of the PreCat but I believe it will be very loud

In reading about your current issue, some have suggested spark plug replacement (when were yours last changed?) as well as adding a fuel injector cleaner on your next full tank fill up to clean up any gumming up of the injectors ... just a couple of other idea's to help
P0138 - Heated Oxygen Sensor 2 Circuit High Voltage (Bank 1).
P0158 - Heated Oxygen Sensor 2 Circuit High Voltage (Bank 2)
P0420 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)
Your first two codes are heater codes which the simulator you say you have installed doesnt simulate so you need to wire a resistor into each one of your heater wires from the secondary o2's. The PO420 could be do to a bad primary o2 sensor or could be that your simulator is wired wrong

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo they are the secondaries right???... nvmd i got the answer... i've got a question also... wouldnt the reason for the P0420 code be because of the P0138 and the o2 isnt detecting the cat??? so fixing P0138 takes care of P0420??? just curious...
