Default problem with exhaust manifold

well i had a crack in my exhaust manifold so today i was going to install an aftermarket greddy header. its the right size and everything but it looks like there are two o2 sensors in the stock exhaust manifold, and only one spot for them in the greddy header. am i seeing this wrong? if not what am i supposed to do with the other o2 sensor since i am pretty positive it is going to throw a code.

The other o2 sensor goes onto the catalytic converter.

so i went and looked again. is putting in the header gonna delete my cat? i wish i had pictures but it still looks like there is only one place to plug in an o2 sensor. do i need to install an aftermarket cat and exhaust also for this to work??? sorry just very confused on what i should do. really dont want a CEL. im sure i am just missing something

Wait, do you have the DX/LX engine? If so, yes it will eliminate your cat. You are better off either getting a custom cat or an EX/Si cat. Also, if you do have the DX/LX engine you are going to need an o2 sensor extender, you can try buying one on ebay or some performance website or making one yourself.
