Sorry but I have to ask, did you weld anything to the pipes to put the O2 sensors in them or unplugged and discarded them?
I did weld the 02 sensors to the pipe where it had a crack along where they connect with each other. Why? How is that affecting the engine making it spit and sputter. More importantly. . . how do I fix it.

Malfunctioning O2 sensors can cause the sputtering. I'm asking because I've seen it happen when people modify their exhaust with discarding or installing the sensors incorrectly. And plus your engine codes are directed to the O2 sensors.
