Default Samson exhaust help

I have had the most trying time getting my true duals installed. I was hearing the knocking of the piston so I figured the exhaust wasn't on all the way. Today I decided to take the left hand side apart again and Check the wiring on the o2 sensor since during removal of the stock exhaust I somehow pulled the wires from the plug. I matched the wiring as it is on the front cylinder blue wire connected to the red and tightened the exhaust back up again. Much of the knock is gone but I think there is still a leak since the flange does not go all the way to the collar because of the bend I did feel some air there. Most important now though Is I rode for 7 minutes around the block came back into the garage and the u pipe was glowing red hot. The front header wasn't like that, is this most likely an o2 issue.

this sounds like an extreme lean condition. your air/fuel mixture is very lean. you need to get more fuel n your engine. there are many ways to do this and one is to just get another control module to help with the air/fuel mixture.
thank you,
JR

Is this normally the case just bolting up an exhaust? Everything else including A\C is stock. Hoping it would be okay to ride 30 mins to the nearest dealer
