Congratulations on youre header install! :-)
I just wanted to mention that it usually takes more than one trip
before the check engine light will come on due to the downstream O2
sensor. There are a number of conditions that must be satisfied
before a check can be done, and it might take a few trips before
you make a trip that satisfies all the requirements. When I had my
downstream O2 sensor completely disconnected, it would usually
take about 3 or 4 trips before I got a MIL.
