I was told that, and I have a 94 EX, and I have yet to find a second O2 sensor? I have not goten under the car, but I have looked befor and after the cat, and dont see anything in plain view.... But thats a 94, and the guy who told me, worked at NAPA....
Did your car have any issues befor you did the header install? It sounds like a clogged cat... Some headers that are shiped in the mail are wraped in plastic, and I have seen paper stuffed inside the tube a litte ways, so maybe you had somthin in the tube and now its in your cat? Thats a wild guess, but we cant really help untill you let us know what code its throwin... Do you know how to check the code?

nevermind about the speedometer and flashing lights and everything...i askd around at all the automotive shops and everything ,they couldnt tell me shit .....had me worried like hell , when in all i just blew an alternater fuse ....i just sat down and thought to check my fuses ..DAMN dont some things turn out to be easier then they really seem
im still throwin a check engine light but i just orderd a new rear gasket instead of replacing it with the stock cause i have an exhaust leak...mabye itll clear it up
and about the 2nd o2 sensor ,its built in the CAT so when i decide to get rid of it and throw on a cat back i could cash in my stock CAT for a lil money
