I suspect the cause is your test pipes.
Starting in about 2011, a "Rear Fuel Trim Monitor" was implemented in the ECM software.
As the front Air/Fuel sensor ages and gets exposed to contaminants, it can develop a rich or lean bias.
The rear fuel trim monitor system is designed to compensate for any of these bias shifts using the post cat O2 sensor. This system looks for any bias shifts at the stoichiometric point of the front air/fuel sensor and compares it to the rear o2 sensor.
Since you don't have a catalytic converter and the rear o2 sensor is generally out of the main exhaust steam to prevent P0420/P0430 (catalytic system below threshold) this might provide the ECM with information that it interprets as the air/fuel sensor has a lean bias, so it adds a little fuel.
If it bothers you, I'm sure your tuner could adjust the AFR targets for idle.
Question:
What are your long & short term fuel trims for both banks at a hot idle?

I'll check that once I get them hot enough. I tend to only drive a few miles a day back and forth from my job, and gym and stuff - and as of now with the virus - I'm not driving much at all, but I'll run it for 15 mins or so and get it hot.
Thanks for the information. I've also thought about retraining the idle - and resetting the ECU - but like i said, nothing is going on - nothing abnormal, but I wanted to make sure - so I don't cause any damage that could be avoided by catching it early.
Ok I pulled up my CSV file I sent Seb. Here's what it looks like (92 - 105 throughout the banks) - and those banks fluctuate from 92 - 105 throughout the drive.
Also - I do have my O2 sensors shut off from reporting on the codes... it kept turning my engine light on - not sure if that matters?
