If you installed high flow cats that should not be an issue. Unless of course the o2 sensors are no longer any good.

Even with cats, you may as well have them tuned out. They are totally not needed at all. I screwed them back in, and still had them tuned out. That's just one more thing to go wrong, throw a code and replace them. Did whoever tuned it delete your EGR and AIR while they were at it? Or did you have to keep those for emissions? Being so far down in the stream, the rear o2 sensors sometimes throw a code, even if they weren't before.

I would go get the code pulled somewhere. Autozone/ Pepboys do it for free. Get the code and post it up. While there is a pretty good chance it has something to do with the recent header install, it could also just be dumb luck to have something else throwing a code that you're not even expecting.

Yep, bank 1 sensor 2 is the driver's side rear (postcat) 02.
