Guy's out there with the p0420 code. Before the guy at your local shop tells you your converter is bad, an they have a $300 converter in stock. check the donut gasket and\or spring bolts thats between the converter and exhaust pipe. (The leak may only happen above 2k rpms so you may need someone to keep the rpms up when checking for the leak) Especially if you have\had bad motor mounts and the p0420 code popped up
Headers on the QR do give you a check engine light unless you do the oxygen sensor spacer near the resonator. Also from 2002-2006 Sentra also have a problem with the butterfly screws right under the intake manifold.
you don't have to warm it up more that 15-30 seconds depending on how cold it is. the vehicle will warm up faster if you drive it smooth. just don't revv too high until the vehicle is at optimal temp.

if you plan on keeping the 2.5 for a long ass time, go catless to avoid high mileage clogging later in the future (200,000miles) and replace the stock exhaust manifold with the cat inside for a catless header
Its not Headers on a four cylinder. A four cylinder has one header. one header for each bank of an engine. It would be impossible to install headers on a QR because the head only has room for one.

You dont need to warm an engine more than 15 seconds, thats enough time to send oil through
