Has anyone had any problem when they installed an aftermarket catalytic converter rather than an OEM?

Not unless you buy a quality aftermarket catalytic converter.

I had a hy-tech.

When I buy a new catalytic converter.. Do I need to buy one that has 2 o2 sensor ports?

jkoni426

^No, just one port for the secondary sensor if you're obd2. The primary sensor is in the header.
