even with the headers the cel will come on. but try replaceing it and see if its still there try to disconect thr bat. and wait maybe it will go away. maybe the cat is bad which is causing the o2 to come on

denso is oem....

header, you have one (no S)

old doesnt mean anything, I just find it VERY surprising because dc makes a lot of honda crap.
Of course the cel will go off without the o2 in it

Figure out which code you have and then go about fixing it.
