Default Weird Acting Car

I have a swapped b16a in my 95 civic coupe. Ever since I put a Greddy header on the car it has been acting weird like vibrating.. Shaking the entire car around 5 grand and up... What I am thinking is that it is either my o2 sensor or my broken motor mount. I just replaced my mount last week and it didn't do it bad with the other broken mount.... So I'm lost... Any input is greatly appreciated...

Even with new motor mounts with It is common for a car with an aftermarket header to vibrate more just because most headers do not come with the support brackets like the OEM exhaust manifold. So it tends to vibrate little more but nothing to worry about.

If you girlfriend is getting pleasure from just sitting in the passenger seat then that's considered too much vibration. Also check how tight is the downpipe connected to the cat/testpipe..
