Issue with New Headers and CAT

I just had headers and a high flow cat installed on my 98 prelude and the check engine light came on after a day of driving and it was what i thought it would be one of the O2 Sensors. It was sensor #1 and after getting new sensor installed the check engine light came on again... advance auto is closed right now so i couldnt figure out the code tonight, but if the check engine light is coming on already for both sensors... does that mean that i may have to get my car tuned because of the fact i have new headers? someone please help...im going tomorrow morning to see what code the check engine light is throwing out...im gonna assume just by changing the sensors that this problem wouldnt necessarily be solved maybe i am running too rich i notice when i have been driving and once i shut the car off and i get out i smell a very strong gas smell. anyone with helpful input please reply

1. You installed a header, not plural.
2. Check the code yourself. Another DIY ATTS, ABS, & CEL (Check Engine Light) DTC

No.

Also, check your gas cap as that is probably the reason for both the CEL and smell of gas.
