420 should be the manifold cats. Not O2 sensors at all. Did you use a brand new manifold or used?

The cat under the car is after the O2 sensor. No reading on it. The only way it would effect the O2 readings. Would be if it is about clogged up all the way. If you are not in California. Just remove it or buy a Megan y pipe.
