Default O2 Wire Question

I'll try to make this short. 2015 Limited with V&H Dresser Duals & Hi-Output mufflers and stage 1 air cleaner. Dealer did a dyno with SESTP and still didn't sound quite right. One side sounded good and the other one sputtered...a lot. Called them and they said to bring it back and they would run another dyno and check it. Picked it up and they said it had a bad O2 wire and that was the reason for the bad tune. While riding home, it sounded a lot better. Not 100% but close. Now after a few hundred miles it's starting to revert back to the way it sounded before. Is there something that could cause the wire and/or sensor to go bad again? I do engine brake a bit when I downshift but nothing too crazy. I wouldn't think it would cause some sort of false reading for the O2 sensors but I don't know. About ready to switch to the power duals so I get an "even" sound from both sides :/

Dresser duals has no effect on your O2 sensors. Are you adding anything to your fuel? Same additives are bad for them.

Not adding anything. I'm changing mufflers and pipes today so problem solved
