if you have the lx the owm cat is attached to the header

now since you have meagan the cat is no longer there and your throwing a code for running with no cat

pm me and i can send you a o2 extender so your code can go off

Running without an O2 Sensor attached will eventually throw a CEL. Common sense

this is what you need an angled o2 simulator to fit past your alternator and you can install it without removing the header this is the one i use and were i bought it from my cell light went off as soon as i installd it.
