Make sure that the temprature gauges and all of that stuff are plugged back into the header properly and that should do the trick... but if it dosent you might have to go somewhere and have them reset it so it wont keep comming back on.. i dont know alot about headers but that would be my best guess

Sounds like you might need an 02 sensor simulator...

You need a simulator. The ecu knows there is not cat there anymore. You can pick one up at diablo motorsports for about $45 USD.

Do a search for simulator and you'll find all the info that you need.
