no, a catalytic converter removes harmful gases produced by an engine, headers simply provide increased airflow out of the exhaust

How can I replace my catalytic converter?

First, lift your car using ramps to ensure that you can reach the converter which is located about midway down the length of your car. Second, remove all the bolts holding the converter in place. Third, make sure that the catalytic converter that you have purchased is right for your car to avoid any confusion. Fourth, take your O2 wrench and remove the O2 sensor before you unbolt the catalytic converter. After that, remove the pipe that connects the sensor to the converter. Fifth, bolt the new catalytic converter in place after you have taken out the old one. Sixth, re-attach the exhaust pipes and O2 sensor. After this is done you are basically done!
