2 weeks after headers about 2 weeks and 175 miles after the header and ORY, when i drive the car in OD it kinda bogs and doesnt really accelerate right. I have no codes so all the electronics should be right? When i put it on D (no OD) it seems to run alot smoother and accerlate better but it still bogs and surges a little bit.
What can I do to get rid of this and whats causing it?

I have 2 extra o2 sensors from when we removed the cats, 4 came off the car and i put two back on, but it didnt throw a code so how do I know which one is no good?

Noone tunes at all? With all the people in florida that have modded cars there has to be tuners out there...
I'm sure you could get a mail order tune but I don't know how well they work. I've never looked into them. TSP does mail order tunes, they are sponsors too >>>
I didn't see that it wasn't throwing codes. I would think if it were an O2 then a code would be thrown

I live in ft lauderdale 10 miles north of miami
and tallahassee 500 miles north of ft lauderdale
I dont think with my mods its worth spending 500 dollars for a dynotune. And yeah 01 I have zero codes, its just running boggy in spots and mostly in OD and it only just started when today. Its been pretty much fine that past week and half 2 week.
Im actually going to be in orlando wednesday nite but im leaving early thursday morning.

Well I'll throw out a couple a things.
Are you running AIR? If so you might look at the check valves.
Getting any ticking noises from the headers? If so you might want to retorque the headers. Also were your old O2 sensors reused, if so were the threads coated w/anti sieze?
EGR (if you are running it) connections good, Oring, etc, or any other place where some unmetered air might get in?
That's it off the top of my head. Would help if you could drive the car while logging data w/a scanner.
Good luck,
Gerald

Evidently there is something wrong, which is likely all though not defiante to be a result of the headers. There car can still run bad without throwing a code, getting it checked out is pretty much the only way. And a tune or removal of the headers may be the only fix.
Also FL is quite a big place I can't believe no one has a rolling road, thats like saying burgur king doesn't sell chips! (or fries for American correction, lol)
Edit: Looking at your sig I'd say you def have enough mods to throw the PCM out of wack, GET a tune it will not only make the car run right but will make use of the mods, at the moment they are more cosmetic than perforamce.
Why will people spend all this money on parts then wimp out of a tune???? Tuning is the MOST important mod ALWAYS!

With your mods, you need a dynotune. The PCM is chasing the better flowing induction and exhaust systems and can't find the sweet spot. Spend the $$ and get it right. Norris Motorsports should treat you right.

Iv never even heard of them, which cant really be a good thing. Are they a sponsor here? Anyone ever use them?
Im making a 500 mile trip home 2morro so the car better not die. Im gonna take it to meineke when I get home and have them look at it, wont cost me anyting and at least I get an idea of whats going wrong.
Maybe on the way on up to school ill leave a day early and get a tune. Has anyone ever gotten a dyno tune from them and how much did it cost?

I would guess quite a lot, infact FL is about the same size as the UK and I don't even know every tuner in a 30 mile radius let alone across the country

Norris in Orlando and Rev Extreme in Brandon are basically the only ones I ever hear about. I'm sure there's more, but...
