Default throwing a code still

ok, so i posted earlier bout my car being real sluggish and running crappy with alot of hesitation with the throttle, i called my local speed shop and they said it was prolly an o2 so i replaced the 2 o2's that i still have on the car....now i have pacesetter headers on the car (race version) and deleted 2 of the o2 sensors.....jus to preface the situation. so i switched the o2's and the car was running fine and then all the sudden the ses light came on so i went to "the zone" and got it scanned today its P0134 which is HO2S Insufficient Activity Bank 1 sensor 1. Now my question is isnt bank 1 sensor 1 the driver side o2 that got deleted when i had headers put in ( i didnt buy sims i jus had the codes tuned out/ deleted) so what i want to know is if this is the case or if bank 1 sensor 1 is still the o2 that i have on the car and if so why is it throwing a code.....autozone said i have to do a couple (5) driving cycles until the light jus goes away if not then i need completely new 02 sensros.... the ones i replaced the old ones with were from my car they were the 2 used o2's that got deleted with the header install....sorry bout the long read but im just trying to troulbe shoot and fix htis myself.

thanks everyone for you imput,

seth

Bank 1 sensor 1 isn't the one(s) you deleted, you deleted the after cat code (sensor 2)
Insufficient switching is a fairly common code on headers (they don't get hot enough and switch too slowly)
You can either widen the parameters that cause the code to be set, or purchase a set of bosch 13111's, they are the vette rears and have a higher wattage heater that helps with the insufficient switching code (keeps them hot enough to work right)
