I own a 96 civic which is slow as dirt. So with no knowledge what so ever about cars i decided to put on some headers. I got them installed works fine, i didnt feel like i was going any faster... but thats not my main problem... the "exaust gasket" i believe thats the name wont fit anymore so i tried to run my car without it, well whenever i hit the gas or whenever my car changes gear it vibrates clanks and rattles at the joint where my header and exaust pipe meet. Im woundering where i could find one that would fit my cars new header. i went to auto zone and hte guy told me i needed teh same one, so i bought it and well, it was still to small.

My last problem is the O2 sensor is stuck in my old header, i tried everything heating it up, wd40, even a $15 socket the guy at auto zone said would work... well it didnt. anyone have advice?

EDIT:
I read the sticky so here is hte info u guys might need.
Year 96
Make Civic
Model (and trim line) DX
Engine type No idea
Transmission type What the heck?
Drivetrain configuration (FWD, RWD, 4WD, AWD) FWD
Number of doors, options, etc. 2 door
Any modifications that you have made to the car Headers
