OK the stock system is set up like this, in this order:
stock header tubes>>>first o2 sensor>>>first cat (located in the stock header)>>>downpipe>>>second o2 sensor>>>second cat.
Your setup with the kamikaze setup goes like this (assuming you still have your stock second cat with the o2 sensor still in front of it:
Header (with no cat)>>>first o2 sensor>>>Downpipe>>>second o2 sensor>>>second cat.
Notice you removed the first cat, so your second o2 sensor is now reading "bad" air. The first sensor reads bad air stock so it's ok, but the second one has to read clean air, so you need to either flip your stock second cat around (if possible), or have the o2 sensor there moved to behind the second cat.
Plain and simple, make the second o2 sensor read clean exhaust air, by either putting a cat in front of it somewhere, or by moving the sensor to after the cat.
Sorry it's so confusing, it makes sense in my head.

Haha have fun. Sorry, I'm writing a 10 page term paper and I've been adding crap to make it longer. I guess that technique carried into my post cause I just read it and its confusing. Just use the last part: make the second o2 sensor read clean air. Add a cat before it or move it to the back of your stock cat. LOL good luck
Don't believe everything you hear. Experience PWNS guessing.
Maybe. They don't work 100% of the time. But you're welcome to try it.
