No. The headers do not instantly get up to the temperature where stuff like oil, excess coating, and paint burns off. Usually it's all gone after a few heat cycles.

It may have taken a little bit for the stuff inside to get warm and start heading through the exhaust stream.

Plus, Bosch O2s are known for being dicey in quality and are also much more fragile. AC Delco or Denso only in my opinion.
