Default New downpipe and headers throw P0420 CEL

Just installed new headers and downpipe. Used the old 02 sensors but new gasket and bolts. Now I keep getting the P0420 CEL. Any ideas on how to go about fixing this or do I need to somehow program my ECU to cancel out that error.

Or search on "spark plug anti-fouler". This has worked for me.
