Did you install a donut gasket between the header and the cat?
Get under the car while it's running and feel around the collector. If there's a leak, you'll be able to feel it.

Make sure the gaskets are sealing, and that the 02 sensor plugs (if you're not using them all) have anti-seize on them and are torqued down good and hard.

Check your Chilton/Helms manual for the torque specs..
I think they are 44lbs & 22lbs, but not sure for which bolts, so I'd look up the torque specs.
