Well your buddy doesnt have a provision or bung(hole to install the 02 sensor) for the 02 sensor on his high performance manifold. He would either need to:

1. Install the stock manifold with 02 sensor
2. Install an certified smog legal after-market manifold with 02 sensor provision
3. Install an 02 simulator and hope that it passes visual inspection
4. Pay some shady smog technician to pass him with botched test results

maybe after you hit 100 mph, your engine cant handle that speed and the checl engine light comes on to let you know that. thats just my opinion, I am probably way off though.

yea it just sounds like a faulty o2 sensor.. or none at all.. but ur problem is the car not being stock IMO .. return it to stock... did you have the car inspected with the after market header installed before? if not .. the obviously thats ur problem.. or ur exhaust system..
