I got a new code after i got the header on, P0420, catalyst effieciency below threshold...so either the O2 sensors are bad or not tight enough?

If it does come back on you should think about moving your sensor to after the second cat. I was fine for about a year without the rear sensor and then all of a sudden the CEL came on and even after clearing it it comes back so I am looking into the cure. It won't help you pass emissions but it will help cure the sensor issue.
