Currently running a superchip and straight through decatted mongoose exhaust system. Does anyone know why it keeps burning out the probes in the exhaust (laminar probes??) ? How do I stop this happening??

Do you still have the original catted uppipe in the system?
EGTs high enough to destroy a lambda sensor are in my book seriously bad news if that is what has caused it.

EGT is the Exhaust Gas Temperature.
Sounds like yours is running VERY high to keep burning out the Lambda probe. I'm no expert but IMHO I dont think the superchip is helping matters. You'd be better off having the standard ecu remapped instead of the superchip.
Have you replaced the up-pipe cat as well? Recommended!
