yes you will, the header replaces the primary cat so you need to do the anifouler mod on your secondary 02 sensor located on your s-pipe

A lot of people have good luck with CEL eliminators aka o2 simulators but I just didn't. It may have been becaust of my setup, I tried 20+ diffrent combinations of antifoulers and three diffrent o2 sims. My 2.5" full setup was as Alphawerks header, Zpi Racing S-pipe, Zpi Racing midpipe, Injen SES exhaust. I modified the midpipe and added a Magnaflow High flow OBDII Carb Cert Cat (with O2 bung) and a Magnaflow 18" long 6" round resonator. I relocated the S-pipe o2 sensor behind the cat in the midpipe and no cel at all!
